read morePenrith City Council has advised that a fenced dog park, catering for dogs of all sizes has been opened – marking the final stage of the new Gipps Street Recreation Precinct, Claremont Meadows.
Additional features include dog-friendly drinking fountains, bins, dog waste bag dispensers, trees, bench seating and shaded picnic tables.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney enthused “It’s been fantastic to see so many people enjoying the Gipps Street Recreation Precinct and I’m sure the opening of the dog park will boost its popularity even more.
“There are now 10 dog parks and off-leash areas across the local government area for residents to enjoy with their four-legged family members.”
The Gipps Street Recreation Precinct project was funded by Council with the support of the NSW Government, which contributed a combined $13.5 million through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program, Multi-Sport Community Facility Fund, Greater Cities Sport Facility Fund, and the Places to Play Program.
NSW Deputy Premier, Minister for Western Sydney and Member for Londonderry Prue Car said she is pleased to see the dog park now open for the community adding “thousands of residents have already enjoyed Gipps Street to stay active and connect with their neighbours, and we will see thousands more with the opening of this dog park.
“Now local families of all shapes and sizes can enjoy the amazing facilities this precinct has to offer alongside their four-legged friend.”
The Gipps Street Recreation Precinct is located at 34 Gipps Street, Claremont Meadows, NSW 2747. It is open from 6am until 10.30pm daily.
