⛔️ MAINTENANCE WORKS NOTICE ⛔️

The Dog Park will be closed on Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 August while we undertake reticulation upgrade works.

A gentle reminder that while the Dog Park is closed, there will be no off-leash exercise facilities. Your dog/s must remain on the leash and under your control at all times while visiting Whiteman Park.

Thanks for your understanding!

NOTICE 📣

The Dog Park will be closed for 2-3 days for path realignment works during the week of Tuesday 4 - Friday 7 June.

The Small Dog area will remain open for dogs under 10kg. 🐾

As always, you can call the team between 8.30am - 5.00pm weekdays to check if the facility is open when you hope to visit.

Just a polite reminder though, that dogs are not permitted to be off-leash anywhere else in Whiteman Park, even when the Dog Park is closed.

---

Please also note that Park Management are undertaking fence realignment works at the eastern end of the Dog Park from May 20 – 31. The Dog Park will remain open during this time, but a section of the footpath will be closed to facilitate these works.

As we pause today to remember those who served, and still serve today, take a moment to also acknowledge the service animals who served alongside them. From dogs to horses, donkeys and more, service animals served crucial roles during war.

And much like some of these animals do in the comfort in our homes now, they also offered comfort and emotional support to many soldiers.

We will remember them all.

Lest we forget.

Whilst using the Dog Park (or any other dog park!) it is important to keep visual contact of your dog at all times. We want your dog and every other dog to enjoy themselves, so its important for our two-legged friends that each and every one of us remains vigilant and pays close attention to ensure your dog’s experience is a positive one! 🐶

Did you know moving around the Dog Park encourages dogs to see the area as neutral territory? 🐶

As a communal facility, unsociable behaviour doesn’t make for a nice visit, so it’s up to our two-legged guardians to keep their dogs moving around the Dog Park! This will help to discourage any pack or territorial behaviour amongst our canine buddies.
