More shade delivered to Cribb Park dog off-leash area
24 April 2025
Visitors to the Cribb Park dog off-leash area can now enjoy more shade after Ipswich City Council adjusted fencing to cater for this community request.
Division 4 Councillor Jim Madden said he was pleased that council had delivered a simple solution to bring more shade to the Cribb Park dog off-leash area.
“Users of the park approached council about the lack of shade in the dog off-leash area, asking whether the fencing could be realigned to include the existing seating and shelter,” Cr Madden said.
“Council delivered this effective solution to allow users to play with their furry friends while enjoying the shaded picnic area.
“I’m pleased to see that work is now completed and residents can enjoy the expanded area more comfortably with protection from the elements.”
Division 4 Councillor David Martin said the project was completed as part of council’s Provisional Projects.
“Community voices drive Provisional Projects, allowing divisional councillors to submit minor projects that are of importance but not currently included in the three-year capital works program,” Cr Martin said.
“This fencing change is a great result with council not only listening to residents’ concerns but also listening to the solution they put forward.
“Incorporating existing seating will provide many benefits to those who use the area.”
Council provides a range of dog off-leash parks across the city. More information about dog-off leash areas is available here.
