🐶 A Dog Park for Athlone 🐶

Many dog owners in Athlone live in smaller homes, apartments, shared living spaces or properties with compact terraced gardens. Our furry friends, especially high-energy ones, would benefit from having a dedicated spot where they can exercise, socialise and run off-leash. 

Public safety and shared spaces : 

Having a dedicated dog park in Wansboro Park would mean that less dogs would be let off-leash where children play and people walk, preventing unsolicited and potentially unsafe encounters. 

A dog park could become a place where our dogs play together but also where dog-owners get to meet and create friendships. It is also a way to encourage responsible pet-ownership and improve the amenities available to residents of Athlone. 

Whether you are a dog owner, a pet lover, a parent and/or a member of the community, please sign & share this petition to show the Council that the community supports the creation of a dog park in Wansboro Park.
