Opening of newly-fenced dog exercise area on Saturday 15 July

Malcolm Sparrow from Councillor Malcolm Sparrow - Wellington City Council

If you're a dog owner, you're welcome to join us at the ‘opening’ of the newly-fenced dog exercise area at Taylor Park in Tawa.

Northern Ward councillors Malcolm Sparrow, Jill Day and Peter Gilberd are organising a low-key opening at 1pm on Saturday 15 July. Bring along your canine companion to enjoy some K9 treats and a run around the dog park.

Council fenced the dog exercise area at Ian Galloway Park in Wilton last year. This year’s project, Taylor Park, has just about been completed. Next year will be the turn of a dog park in the southern suburbs.

Drive through the car park for Redwood Station (south) and park outside the badminton hall which is alongside Taylor Park. See you there!
