Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Shane Rattenbury, has announced the completion of the $170,000 upgrade to the Belconnen dog park, including the addition of a small dog enclosure.
Mr. Rattenburry explained that the addition of a separately fenced area at the existing off-leash dog park in Belconnen provides owners with a secure space for their pets to play with other dogs of the same size.

Mr. Rattenbury mentioned that in recognition of the popularity of the off-leash dog parks at Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong and Yarralumla, the ACT Government has committed $300,000 for the design and construction of a new off-leash dog park in O’Connor.
“The 1.3 hectare dog park in O’Connor will feature separate enclosures for small and big dogs, as well as access for all users, seating, a bubbler and water sources for dogs. “Work on this park is expected to commence early next year,” Mr. Rattenbury said.
