“Foreshore Park at Shoreline Drive and McIlwaine Park on Concord Road are the first spaces in Rhodes where dogs can be taken off their leash at particular times of the day,” said Mayor Tsirekas.
During the trial, dogs are allowed to be off-leash in a designated part of both of the parks before 9am and after 5pm each day.
“All dogs need regular exercise and Council understands the importance of being able to take your dog outdoors to a dog-friendly space.”
