FROM wagging tails to lolling tongues and happy barks – Mapleton’s furry friends were eager to sniff out the region’s newest dog area at Lilly Ponds Park.
Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said he was pleased to work with the community and their pooches to deliver a new dog off leash area close to town.
“The new fenced site offers the community a good overall layout to enjoy time outdoors with their furry companion in a well-located area away from other park users,” Cr Law said.
The space is easily accessible for all community members, with ramps and rails. It’s also close to car parking while being far enough away from the main road and traffic to give our dog owners ease of mind.
“I would like to thank long-time Mapleton local and advocate for the project, Hank Cedric Wade, who championed this project, as well as the many community members who provided feedback last year to help determine their favoured site.” Mr Wade (pictured with his dog, Ferro) said he was pleased to see his advocacy had come to fruition.
“My nine-year-old Weimaraner, Ferro, is the reason I was so eager to get a dog park in Mapleton,” Cedric said.
