Campaspe Shire Council expects Brose Reserve in Tongala and Edis Park in Kyabram to be open for public use by early September, with each park expected to have an official opening in the term three school holidays.
The dog parks will have various features to suit all dog types, including a quiet area for timid dogs, a new artificial grass area, landscaping, garden bed and shelter, along with new turf for dogs to stick their paws into, according to the concept plans.
Council director of communities Jo Bradshaw said the two dog parks were just one way council was working towards achieving each town’s place-based plan.
“Both parks are progressing nicely and are expected to be open for public use by early September, subject to weather,” she said.
“The shelters may not have been erected by that point, but they will be put up as soon as possible and won’t stop the opening of the parks.”
