freundhund Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Congratulations, you must have worked hard to get a fenced park for dogs. Dogs and their owners, are on the lowest rung of the totem pole where councils are concerned. Hope the funds come thru asap. Please post photos when the area is created.

Really grreat work yes the one at Jamison Park will be fully fenced it is approx 4 -5 times larger than the one at st clair it will have a double gate entry and exit it has water a bench seat and about 3 or 4 mature trees for shade inside the fenced area and dozens of more just outside so plenty of shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flying Furball Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Good on you! I am up visiting in Brisbane and there is an excellent example of a large fenced off one in Bardon which I've been going to. It sounds similiar with the double gates etc. Also at this one they have lots of park benches for the humans around the periphery which is great.

Bartok Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Boronia Park at St Marys is off leash dog as well and under Penrith Council As we live in st Marys we use it but we wouldnt go there at night and it isnt fenced. It could be utilised so much more if it was fenced They do have the fenced cricket oval that you arent suppose to use for the dogs as most people in the area dont pick up the pooh and the poor kids in cricket season get hammered by dog crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorto Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The one in St Clair is stupid They have the huge reserve that they could of fenced and instead you get this piddly little fenced area Great work though. Really grreat work I live very close to the St Clair one and usually walk through the park but never used the fenced off area. This is mainly due to the size and that there are so many lazy owners out there that don't clean up after their own dog, this doesn't help when the 2 bag dispensers are always empty. I ventured to Jamison park today to find 2 big rolls of bags chained to the fence. The area looks great but again lazy owners not cleaning up after their dog is one of the big downfalls. Does anyone have contacts on who to speak to from the council in relation to maintaining these parks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just call Penrith Council and ask who you need to speak to. Hurrah for thread resurrection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
