Surrounded by natural bushland and an abundance of fresh air and space to run around, bringing your dog here for a walk is a perfect idea. Dogs are welcome at the BEP, however, to keep all users of the BEP – humans, dogs and horses – safe, there are strict rules which all visitors need to follow. There are two sections of the BEP, as indicated on the accompanying map – an on-leash area and an off-leash area. The BEP off-leash area is bounded by Cawdor Road, Onslow Park and Matahil Creek, while the remainder of the BEP is always on-leash.
|
As the name suggests, all dogs must remain on their leashes at all times in the on-leash area whereas, in the off-leash area, dogs may be off their leashes before 10am and after 5pm. The only exception to this is on equestrian event days where all dogs must be on leash in all sections of the park at any time of the day.
Dogs may only be off leash in the designated off leash area before 10am and after 5pm and make sure that :
- Dogs are only off leash in the designated area at the designated times.
- Dog owners must cleanup after their dogs. There are dog poop bags & bins located at all main entrances and at other locations around the park.
- Dogs must be under effective control of a competent person over the age of 16 years within the Bicentennial Equestrian Park;
- The total number of dogs a person is accompanied by or has control of does not exceed four.
- Dog waste must be disposed of in the bins provided.
- Dogs must not rush at, attack, bite, harass or chase a person, horse or another animal.
- Dogs declared as dangerous, menacing or restricted breeds are not permitted to enter the facility at any time; and
- Children are to be supervised by an adult to prevent actions that may excited, scare, tease or intimidate dogs.
