Exciting Dog Park Upgrades On Way
The Hurstbridge dog park is set to undergo a major upgrade and we want to hear your thoughts on a range of proposed improvements.
The planned upgrade includes accessible seating and shelters, a passive dog area for dogs who prefer a quieter space, potential dog activities and interactive play areas, new concrete pathways, landscaping, new signage, solar lighting at key locations and additional waste bins to encourage cleanliness.
Mayor John Dumaresq said the upgrade would provide a better experience for all dog park users.
“Upgrades to the Hurstbridge dog park mean it will be safer, easier to get around, and more fun for everyone — people and their dogs,” Cr Dumaresq said.
“With better safety, accessibility, and facilities, we’re making sure the whole community can enjoy it, no matter their age, ability, or the kind of dog they have. It’s all about making Hurstbridge an even more welcoming place to be.”
Councillor Naomi Joiner encourages residents to take part in the consultation.
“This is a great opportunity for residents to get involved, share their ideas, and help shape the dog park,” Cr Joiner said.
This project is supported by the Victorian Government through the New and Upgraded Dog Parks Program.
