Tweed Shire is about to get their first two fully-fenced off leash dog parks thanks to a recent $3.75 million in Federal Government grants being awarded.
A Tweed Shire Council spokesman said the funding would create two fenced off-leash dog parks in the Tweed at Bray Park and Banora Point.
“The parks will be functional, safe and enjoyable for dogs and their owners,” the spokesman said.
“The projects were identified by the community as a key priority in council’s adopted Open Space Strategy 2019-29.”
One park will be built at the John Baker Reserve on Darlington Drive Banora Point with separated areas for large and small dogs while a second large fenced area will be built at the Bray Park Reserve on Kyogle Road, Murwillumbah.
