Outcome

Community Consultation
Are you a canine carer, pooch pamperer, or just all over dog lover in Hurstville or Beverly Hills? It's time to release the hounds, as we're trialing two new off leash areas for our four-legged friends at Hurstville Park and Merv Lynch Reserve!
Georges River Council currently provides nine (9) designated off leash areas, located across Peakhurst, Blakehurst and Kogarah Bay Wards. There are no dog off leash areas in either the Hurstville or Mortdale Wards.
We're undertaking this trial to meet increasing demand to provide diversity of our open spaces for the local community and their companion animals for use of passive and active recreation
Interested in checking the parks out? The locations for the trial are:
 | Hurstville Park – Corner of Gordon and Patrick Street, Hurstville |
 | Merv Lynch reserve – 42 Edgbaston Road Beverly Hills |
We want your feedback!

Dog fence and small dog area
Hi, the place is great- I think there needs to be a fenced up area on the other side towards the road. Also will be good to put up jump facilities etc and separate big vs small dog areas. I’m glad we finally have an off leash dog park at bevo! Thank you again

My pup loves this park in our local area and socialising with other dogs.Needs complete fencing, double gate would be good, shelter area too
Merv Lynch will be top with a few tweaks

It's too small, squashy and dirty , not much space for dogs to run and roam in the Hurstville park, it was better left the way it was.

Needs tap, shade and fences at merve lynch
I love Merve lynch Park but there is zero shade and shelter. The sun has faded some of the awesome play equipment for kids. The park has a broken fence but no fenced areas for dogs. Access to water and or toilets would be fantastic. It would be good to have dog agility equipment installed as well as a couple of pooch friendly trees

Maintenance of the grass because it is very high, benches for people, fun toys for dogs such as ramps and rings and garbage
