Off Leash Areas

Is your dog bored sitting in the backyard at home?  Why don't you take your dog for a walk in one of Council's many off-leash areas.

Bathurst Regional Council recognises that some dogs needed more exercise than others.  As a result Council has declared 12 sites for use as off-leash dog exercise areas.

Details and maps of each off-leash dog exercise area are provided in our Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries listing...

Keep in mind when using these areas all dog owners must maintain effective control over their dogs at all times.  Make sure that your dog is visible at all times and controlled by voice command.

Please pick up your dog's droppings and leave the off-leash area in a clean and tidy condition.  Not only does this keep the area clean for all users but it reduces the spread of contagious diseases, and worm infestation (eg. hookworm, roundworm, tapeworm etc).  Dog poo bins are provided at all off-leash areas.  Some off-leash areas also have bio-degradable bags attached to the bins for use when picking up your dog's droppings.
