This consultation has now closed.
Following consideration of the community engagement outcomes as well as two deputations and a petition, on 19 July 2022 Council endorsed that a Master Plan (incorporating a Dog Park) be developed for Lochiel Park in consultation with various stakeholders, including residents, to seek their feedback.
In October 2020, the Community were asked for their preferred location for a second dog park in the Council area and Lochiel Park Oval was the most popular Community choice. A concept plan has now been designed and we would like to hear your views as to whether we have the design right.
The proposed Lochiel Park Dog Park has a range of features and amenities; a toilet, shade, shelter, irrigation and a playground are adjacent to the site along with nearby adequate parking. The location is not immediately adjacent to houses and is close to the River Torrens Linear Park trail. Concerns raised about the location have been considered by Staff when designing the concept plan.
What's being proposed?
The Concept Plan includes separate spaces for small and large dogs in a secured area, which is sensitive to its natural surrounds. The concept plan is contained overleaf with some of the more pertinent features of the plan explained below.
Vegetation and Shade
The design is a continuation of the natural setting, and includes complementary plant selections and materials, and increased trees and vegetation.
Hybrid turf would be installed throughout the enclosed dog park space, enabling the existing turf to grow through its cellular structure whilst protecting it from the heavy traffic and digging anticipated at a dog park.
Fencing
Black chain link perimeter fencing would be installed along with two entry and exit airlock gated areas. The gates provide a safety zone for owners to transition their dogs between the off leash/on leash environment.
There would also be a gate between the smaller and larger dog enclosures
Pathways
Curved pathways have been used to retain the existing oval shape and encourage movement within the park. They are also dog friendly as they prevent dogs being backed into a corner.
Play Areas
A sandpit (to enable dogs to dig), and softfall and landscaped mounds are included to create natural challenges for dogs and visual barriers for other areas within the park.
Shelters and seating
Two shelters (matching existing shelters in the Lochiel Park Oval playground) and additional seating have been included in the design.
Soccer Goals
The soccer goals would be moved further south east and realigned to ensure the playing area between the goals is not impacted by the proposal.
