• Just wondering if I could please grab a statement from the mayor regarding the imminent opening of Woodcroft Dog Park?

Comments attributed to Mayor Moira Were

Woodcroft will become the fourth dedicated off-leash dog park in the City of Onkaparinga when it opens in spring this year.

It adds to the 800 reserves and 10 kilometres of foreshore in Onkaparinga available for off-leash dog exercise.

We heard from the community about the design and we’re grateful to the state government and MP Nat Cook for a $500,000 contribution to this project, which we know will be much loved by dogs and their owners.

The park features an agility area featuring weave poles, a bridge, tunnel, an A-frame and a sit-stay platform to keep dogs exercised and entertained.

We’ve also provided a drinking fountain with a dog bowl, shelter, park furniture, landscaping, irrigation and footpaths, and a new toilet block is scheduled to open at the end of September.
