Hibiscus and Bays fenced dog park
In 2019, we found the Hibiscus Coast and Bays area did not have a fenced dog park.
We then looked into a possible site at Western Reserve, Ōrewa.
Feedback from nearby residents:
- showed support for a wider consultation
- suggested looking at other parks.
In response, Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decided to research more potential dog park locations.
About the proposed dog park
The proposed dog park would be about 6000 to 8000 square metres, depending on the site.
It would:
- be fully fenced
- allow dogs to exercise and socialise 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 Upper Harbour.
What we want your feedback on
We want to know which of the following locations is the most suitable for a fenced dog park:
- Western Reserve – Western end
- Western Reserve – Central area
- Moores Point Reserve
- Metro Park East.
