Dogs to run free in Williams Landing

300749_01

Tails are wagging across Wyndham after council awarded a construction contract to build a new off-leash dog park in Williams Landing.

Work on the new park, located on Williams Landing Boulevard Reserve, is expected to begin in the coming weeks.

The off-leash area will be surrounded by fencing and comprise three distinct zones: a large lawn area for dogs to run around, an activity space with agility equipment, and a quiet area for smaller and older dogs.

A drinking fountain, seating, dog litter bag dispenser and bins will also be included in the park which is one of five currently under construction in the municipality.

Wyndham councillor Robert Szatkowski said these parks were being delivered as part of council’s dog-off leash plan and open space strategy.

“These five new dog off-leash parks will add to the existing 18 dog off-leash areas

located across Wyndham and will get us that much closer to our goal of developing a

network of off-leash parks within walking distance for most residents.”
