Gunnedah’s Wandobah Reserve – Off Leash Dog Park will open this Saturday, and dogs of Gunnedah and their owners are invited!

Gunnedah Shire Council Director Infrastructure Services Jeremy Bartlett said the Off Leash Dog Park had been created at the request of dog owners throughout Gunnedah and would provide a place where dogs could play and mingle within a fenced area.

“The Wandobah Reserve – Off Leash Dog Park is an important new park for our Shire,” Mr Bartlett said.

“It is a secure fenced area where dogs and their owners can enjoy a bit of exercise and socialising.

“The construction and final design of the Off Leash Dog Park is a direct result of an extensive amount of community consultation that was undertaken as part of the project. The features include a secure double gate entrance, separate yards for large and small dogs, clear signage, bins, dog waste bags, agility equipment, water fountains for both owners and dogs, seating and also lighting for safe entry and exit.

“The park includes play equipment for the dogs that has utilised materials from other Council facilities, offering a great environmentally and budget-friendly solution.

“We invite dog owners to come and take a look and enjoy the park, remembering to please follow the information on the signage and to be mindful of other users.”

The Wandobah Reserve – Off Leash Dog Park will officially open with an event from 10am to 11am this Saturday, 7 September. The event will include a Best Dressed Dog Competition run by the Animal Welfare League of NSW Gunnedah, with free microchip checks and Companion Animal Register updates available.
