Dog Parks
Upgrades to Port Pirie Dog Park and Creation of Crystal Brook Dog Park
Dog Parks can provide a safe space in which people can exercise their dogs, watch them play and socialise with other dogs.
Port Pirie currently has a dog park at Frank Green Park; however, it was identified that improvements are needed to provide a safer, more welcoming and well-maintained area for dogs and their owners.
A new Crystal Brook dog park has been established in a disused section of land at the rear of the Crystal Brook Tennis Club and new fencing was recently installed. This dog park will also provide a safe, welcoming and well-maintained area for dogs and their owners.
