Bacchus Marsh has a new dog park that will have owners and their pets drooling, with the park including a secure fenced and off-leash area.
Opened on Thursday, May 22, the Mason’s Lane Dog Park includes a double-gated entry for pet owners’ peace of mind, dog-friendly landscaping and pathways, and plenty of room for canine companions to roam freely.
The park has been designed to appeal to humans and hounds alike, as it provides new outdoor recreational space for local residents.
Seating will allow dog owners who visit the space to comfortably stay for longer periods of time.
A $400,000 state grant was announced in June last year, and Moorabool council contributed $200,000.
Moorabool mayor Paul Tatchell said the council is “very excited to have this dog park open in Bacchus Marsh and we know every dog in the area shares that excitement.”
Eureka MP Michaela Settle said the park is a “tail-wagging triumph for pet lovers and their four-legged companions!”
“It is a playgroup for pups, a meet-up spot for pet parents and a new hub for our community to come together,” Ms Settle said.
Local community members were invited to see the finished works at the opening event, and the park is now open to residents at Masons Lane in Bacchus Marsh.
