Mick and Monte at Horseshoe Beach which we have affectionately renamed 'dog poo beach'

YEY we've got somewhere else to take our loveable furry friends! We'd often drive by the 'under construction' fenced off, off leash area at Speers Point groaning 'is it done yet?' our response to each other 'no'. They begun it in March 2017. Eventually we gave up driving by but it's FINALLY done Yippie!

Lake Macquarie’s first fenced dog park opened today at Speers Point! The Newcastle Herald said the Council's statements were that “provided 10,000 square metres of space for dogs to exercise and play freely.. it helps build a stronger community and encourages our residents to become more active as well”

Council is also planing another one in Croudace Bay. Pooches are said to be lapping up every last bit of attention... sorry I had to get at least one pun in.
