The upgraded Tirhatuan Dog Park in Dandenong North is officially off the leash.
The park’s new expanses in Kriegal Way include a new area for small dogs and a larger off-leash area for all dogs.
Canine playgrounds have been installed, such as an ‘agility equipment zone’, and a custom-built rock mound and rock bed with timber logs.
Other new features are a circuit gravel path, drinking fountains for dogs, shelters, picnic table and landscaped areas with trees.
The Greater Dandenong Council project was supported by $153,000 of state funding.
It was funded through the state’s $2.7 billion Building Works economic stimulus program for shovel-ready projects during the Covid-recovery period
