Pamela and 'Megsy' enjoy their first visit to the Wesley Hill Dog Park on Wednesday.

Castlemaine’s long awaited dog park is complete and well-behaved dogs of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to use the new fully fenced off-leash facility at Wesley Hill Recreation Reserve.
The new space is now open for use during daylight hours. It is located at the northern corner of the reserve, adjacent to the lower/stadium carpark off McGrath Street.
Councillor Dave Petrusma said there was no ‘official’ opening or fanfare due to COVID-19 but all the fencing and gates are done and fresh water available. “Please be mindful that social distancing and masks presently apply as it does for other open spaces within the shire,” he said.  See the Mail for the full story.
