In 2019, we found the East Coast Bays area did not have a fenced dog park.

We looked into possible sites at Sherwood Reserve and Deep Creek Reserve.

Feedback from nearby residents showed support for a public consultation about where the site for the dog park should be.

About the proposed dog park

The proposed dog park would be 3600 to 4000 square metres, depending on the site.

It would:

  • be fully fenced
  • allow dogs to socialise both on and off-leash.

While there are many off-leash parks and reserves in the area, none are fenced. The nearest fenced dog park is at Sanders Reserve in Paremoremo.

What we want your feedback on

We want to know which reserve you prefer for the new fenced dog park: Sherwood or Deep Creek.

When you can have your say

You can have your say from Wednesday 11 March until Monday 13 April 2026.

What happens next

We will use your feedback to confirm the location of the new dog park. We will create a draft concept plan for the dog park and present this to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.
