Concept designs for proposed dog parks in Hoppers Crossing and Truganina are now open
for feedback.
The off-lead dog parks are proposed for the areas north of the existing tennis club
at Cambridge Reserve, Hoppers Crossing and the top northern corner of Alcock
Road Reserve, Truganina.
Each of the proposed off-leash areas will include,
1.2m high fences, double gate entries, bins and dog bag dispensers, a drink fountain and agility equipment.
Both dog parks will also feature trees, landscaping and at least 3,000 square metres of grass, garden bed and gravel surfaces.
Cambridge Reserve and Alcock Road Reserve were earmarked for dog off-lead
parks in the Wyndham Dog Off-Lead Plan 2022.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said there was increasing demand for dog
off-lead spaces as the municipality grew.
“We welcome these additional parks, and trust dogs and their pet owners will benefit
from enjoying time outside, engaging in physical exercise and socialising,” she said.
“It’s important that all dog off-lead users also maintain effective control over their dog
at all times, be aware of canine body language that indicates whether your dog is
uncomfortable and ensure vaccinations are up to date – these are just some of the
enclosed dog park etiquette guidelines.”
