Kingston Heath Reserve Off-Leash Dog Park Upgrade

As part of our commitment to providing quality parks and open spaces for the community, we're planning to upgrade the off-leash dog park at Kingston Heath Reserve in Cheltenham.

Project update - February 2024

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the proposed upgrades to the off-leash dog park at Kingston Heath Reserve in Cheltenham.

Your input helped shape the final concept plan, which is now available for viewing on the project page and includes:

• Improved drainage
• New benches and logs
• Tree planting for shade

Following concerns from the community, several amendments were made when revising the design:

• Removed enclosed permitter fence and gated entrance
• Existing bin and dispenser will remain in current location

Construction

Upgrade works at the off-leash dog park are due to commence in April 2024 and will take approximately four weeks to complete, weather permitting.

Project details

The off-leash dog park at Kingston Heath Reserve is located north of the Kingston Heath Soccer Complex and includes dog exercise equipment.

The proposed concept plan for the upgraded off-leash dog park aims to provide an inviting open space with improved facilities for pets and owners to visit and play - while retaining the existing dog exercise equipment, trees and surrounding pathways.

Highlights of the design include:

• New enclosed perimeter fence (within the existing off-leash area)
• Double gated entrance
• New shelter, benches and picnic tables
• Logs and nature play
• Proposed new trees to provide more shade
• Improved surfacing
• Relocated bin with waste dispenser
• New drinking fountain
