Leash go… work begins on Katikati dog exercise area

Now that’s paws for celebration! Work has begun on Katikati’s new dog exercise area at Donegal Reserve.

New fencing is going up to create a space where our four-legged friends can run free and socialise with other dogs.

The dog exercise area is being built on the back of 81 per cent local support for this location through community kōrero last year.

Funds, for the dog park, mainly from dog registration fees, were allocated through Western Bay of Plenty District Council’s previous Long Term Plan 2021-2031. Council is also working with community groups to furnish the park.
