Whittlesea pooches have two new off-leash areas to explore.
Whittlesea council recently opened the dog off-leash areas at Lyndarum Wetlands in Epping and Creek Park in Mernda, which are complete with new surfaces, furniture and fully-fenced ‘quiet dog’ zones.
Fine gravel surfaces have been installed for high-use areas and more seats have been added for residents to take a break while supervising their furry friends. Other features include drinking fountains and fresh landscaping.
Mernda resident Rebecca Rinaldi and her pooch Simba couldn’t wait to explore the upgraded dog off-leash area in Mernda.
“It’s great to have a place close by where Simba can stretch his legs and interact with other friendly dogs,” Mrs Rinaldi said. “It’s a great way for both of us to get some exercise.”
The dog off-leash area at Lyndarum Wetlands is on Manor House Drive and the Creek Park dog off-leash area is on the corner of Plenty Road and Mernda Village Drive.
