Two new fenced off leash dog parks
At the second round of community consultation to develop the Open Space Strategy (2019–2029), local communities were asked to prioritise the local actions. This ensured that local residents had input into open space decision making for their local area. It also addressed the local community needs and aspirations unique to each area. The community prioritised the following projects.
John Baker Reserve, Darlington Drive, Banora Point
The proposed site for Banora Point’s regional off leash dog area is illustrated below, with a total fenced off leash dog area of 7,600 m2.
What's new for Banora Point regional fenced off leash dog park
Perimeter fencing with 2 double gate entrances and holding areas
Two separate play areas for smaller dogs (area of 3,000 m2) and larger dogs (area of 4,600 m2)
In each of the off leash dog areas there will be:
dog agility equipment (e.g. tunnels, bridges, balance beams)
