Cranbourne East’s furry locals now have a brand new place to enjoy, with the Casey Fields Dog Park now open for all visitors.
As part of the State Government’s $315 million Suburban Parks Program, 31 new dog parks are now complete in suburbs stretching from Werribee to Pakenham and as far as Mildura and Portland.
Delivered in partnership with local councils, with funds up to $275,000 from the state government to ensure the new facilities were purpose-built to meet each community’s needs, the purpose-built parks feature designated ball play areas, fencing, agility equipment, seating, and drinking fountains.
Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said it is great to see the state government delivering on promises and bringing fabulous new dog parks to people in the local community.
“With two precious pooches as part of my family, I am so pleased local dog owners in Cranbourne East have a wonderful park to enjoy with their furry friends, complete with agility equipment, a small dog area, seating, and drinking fountains,” she said.
The State Government will continue to build 28 new and upgraded dog parks across the state with an additional $13.4 million investment allocated in the Victorian Budget 2023/24.
Dog-friendly spaces will be created in a number of areas, including Endeavour Hills, Mount Waverley, Sydenham, Wollert, and the Armstrong Creek growth corridor.
