Mandurah's enclosed dog park to open in coming months

Mandurah's enclosed dog park is taking shape with the purpose-built space to open in the coming months.

The fenced dog park, on the corner of Waterside Drive and Leslie Street, Dudley Park, includes internal and external fencing, footpaths and seating, drink fountains for people and dogs, lots of trees for natural shade, and landscaped areas.

The park is divided into two separate areas, one for smaller dogs to play, and one exercise area for all dogs.

The project team is preparing for the next steps of installing seating, drink fountains, bins, and the planting of trees and plants in the landscaped areas.

With more than 16,000 dogs registered in the City of Mandurah, the City hopes the enclosed dog park will contribute to happier, healthier, better socialised dogs, and also create a community space for dog owners to socialise.

The design has been developed with a working group which includes dog handlers and trainers, interested community members, elected members and City staff, after a location was chosen last year.
