Dog park up for discussion

Masterton District Council will next month consider making land available at Henley Lake for a fenced dog park.

A report is being prepared for the 5 April Council meeting following discussions by Council staff with Rotary South and Rotary Masterton about making use of Council-owned grazing land by Henley Lake.

The Council’s Manager Community Facilities and Activities Corin Haines said the proposal was not expected to involve a cost to ratepayers with Rotary Masterton and Rotary South Masterton proposing to fund the cost of establishing the park.

“The idea of a dog park has been discussed for a number of years. The concept for consideration by elected members will be for the Council’s contribution to be limited to provision of the land.”
