Weston Park dog park to open this weekend

@sepi

You weren’t discriminated against….

As an aside on the opening this weekend: it was open for use about six weeks ago but I noticed it was locked up last weekend. Notices posted on the gates indicated the dog-park would not open until September (to allow the newly planted grass to establish).

But hey, if the Chief Minister says it will open this Saturday, then who am I to disagree?

I think these dog parks are great. The belconnen one always seems full of people and dogs. And I love that they have enclosures for small and large dogs – something the dog training people at Narrabundah never did, despite charging full membership fees for small dogs, then recommending they not use the open running area.

I also regard it as a waste of money. I prefer to walk my dog on a lead and take her out to areas where she can run about under supervision.

I personally think it is a waste of money. Regular dog-walkers in the area will continue to use the routes they have used for years (me included).

My dogs are not the most sociable of dogs, so I will continue to walk my usual route with them on lead as I couldn’t risk letting them off-lead in this enclosure.

$250,00 seems a bit rich for a few hundred metres of cyclone fencing.

However, if others get the benefit from this area…power to them.
