Steel Park located at 531-565 Illawarra Road, Marrickville, is a great space that includes a waterplay park, sports grounds, covered picnic tables with barbecues and a playground featuring slides and swings.
Council is proposing to introduce a new dog off-leash area and we are inviting the community to share their thoughts.
What is the proposal?
The dog-off leash proposal is:
- Dogs are allowed off-leash on field number 2 only (northern field adjacent to PCYC - see map below)
- Dogs are allowed off-leash at all times except when organised sporting games, training and events are on at any field
- That in the event this dog off-leash area is formalised, further consultation around the dog off-leash arrangements at Mahoney Reserve will take place, with a focus on additional education for dog owners using the park.
Why are we proposing this?
- Council received a petition from 109 signatures requesting a new dog off-leash area be introduced at Steel Park
- At Council's meeting on 25 June 2024, Council resolved to conduct community consultation on the introduction of a dog off-leash area in Steel Park.
