Mayor Khal Asfour encouraged residents to make good use of the off-leash area.
“Residents have asked for more dedicated areas for dogs and we’ve delivered,” he said.
“This is our 10th off-leash area. Off-leash areas have great benefits for dogs, not only enabling them to exercise in a controlled and secure environment, but also to help them socialise with other animals.
“Dog parks are also a meeting place for dog owners. They can help build a sense of community.”
The council is investigating more locations for off-leash dog parks.
Parks are currently located at: Peace Park, Ashbury (Trevenar Street); Close Street Reserve, Canterbury (Close Street); Band Hall Reserve, Birrong (Ferrier Road); Cooks River Foreshore, Campsie (Sixth Avenue); Hughes Park, Earlwood (Warburton Parade); Richard Podmore Reserve, Roselands (Karne Street North); The Vale of Ah, Milperra (Auld Avenue); Craig Street, Punchbowl (Kylie Parade); and Peter Moore Field, Belmore (Tudor Street).
