Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the draft concept plan for the Franklin dog park. Feedback closed Wednesday 9 November 2022.

A What We Heard Report which summarises feedback received during the engagement is available along with the final indicative design with construction expected to start in late 2023.

The ACT Government is building a new fenced dog park in Franklin to provide more spaces for dog owners in Gungahlin to exercise and socialise their dogs off-leash.

The new Franklin dog park will be located in the open space bound by Nullarbor Avenue and Oodgeroo Avenue.

Fenced dog exercise areas contribute to the effective management of dogs in public spaces by providing controlled space where dogs can freely exercise and play. They also assist in alleviating the pressure on shared recreational areas.

Community feedback helped inform the final design of the future Franklin dog park.
