Corowa Park Dog Park Upgrade
Council is planning upgrades to Corowa Park to make it safer, more accessible and more comfortable for people and their dogs.
The draft concept design has been shaped by feedback received during the nearby Turnock Park and playground consultation. Council is now inviting the community to view the plans and have their say between 22 April and 20 May 2026 (closing at 4pm).
We value your input, view the draft concept plan.
What’s being proposed?
The draft concept plan retains the park’s current use while delivering practical improvements, which include:
- Fully fenced off leash area
- Double gated entrance
- Formalised off-street parking
- Accessible pathways
- New bench seating, with back and arm rests
- Shaded garden areas, with existing trees retained
- Rubbish bin and dog waste bag dispenser
- Drinking fountain with dog bowl
Utility upgrade works (prior to dog park upgrades)
A new water main is scheduled for installation from mid to end of 2026
Project budget
- $175,000
Your feedback will help Council:
- Confirm whether the proposed design meets the needs of the community
- Identify any improvements or issues before the design is finalised
- Ensure the upgraded dog park is welcoming, safe and functional for all
- Support opportunities for the community to be active, healthy and connected
- Deliver on Council’s commitment to protecting and improving the quality of public open spaces across the Tweed, as outlined in the Open Space Strategy 2019–2029
