While it’s currently nothing more than dirt and a few rocks, an exciting new space for our four-legged friends is taking shape rapidly.
This long-awaited project, part of a broader initiative to create two dog parks in Campaspe Shire, promises to transform the area behind Brose Recreation Reserve into a vibrant community asset.
The new pooch destination, where construction began at the end of May, is set to be complete in the coming weeks if weather permits.
The concept plans for the Tongala Off-Leash Dog Park to be built behind Brose Recreation Reserve.

The off-leash dog park will boast an array of engaging features, including a rustic dry creek bed, an adventurous clamber mound, refreshing water stations and lush new turf for playful paws.
There will also be a quiet off-leash dog area for the more timid and smaller dogs to mingle without being intimidated by the more outgoing or bigger pooches.
For the comfort of pet owners, a well-designed gravel path will encircle the park, ensuring easy navigation of the reserve.
Additionally, a weatherproof shelter will provide a comfortable resting area, regardless of the elements.
Tongala Development Committee president Jason Kelley said the dog park would be a great addition to Tongala.
“It’s a positive sign for the community in terms of growth,” Mr Kelley said.
“I think it will be a good place to socialise, a safe space to take dogs to get a run around.”
Following the completion of the dog park, construction will begin in Edis Park, Kyabram, where a similar off-leash dog park will be built.
