Dogs to be let off-leash in Point Cook

Tails are set to wag in Point Cook with a tender awarded for the

construction of The Strand Dog Off-Leash Park.

Situated in The Strand and Boardwalk Boulevard in Point Cook, the forthcoming park

will feature a dedicated off-leash area with three zones: a spacious lawn area for

dogs to play, an agility equipped activity space, and a quiet area for smaller and

older dogs.

Other features include a drinking fountain, new concrete path, seating, dog litter bag

dispenser and bins.

Wyndham councillor Robert Szatkowski said the construction of the dog park will be an asset to the residents of Point Cook.

“This new dog park is not just about wagging tails, it’s about fostering a stronger

sense of community and enhancing the wellbeing of both pets and their owners – I’m

proud to see this space come to life,” Cr Szatkowski said.

“This project is being delivered as part of the Wyndham Dog Off-Leash Plan 2022

and Wyndham’s Open Space Strategy, both of which strive to provide accessible

and well-connected open spaces.”

Construction of the new dog park is expected to begin in the coming weeks and be finished by mid-year.
