Blacktown City Council - Media Release - New Pooch Parks And Pupnic

Blacktown City has one of the highest dog ownership rates in

the state and to support responsible dog ownership Council 

has just opened 2 new dog parks in Hebersham and 

Quakers Hill and is hosting a dog picnic to celebrate.

The off-leash, fenced enclosures are located at Paterson 

Reserve, Quakers Hill and in Heber Park, Hebersham.

Blacktown City Councillors Chris Quilkey and Moninder 

Singh recently joined the Department of Planning’s director 

of Open Space, Fiona Morrison and children and teachers 

from Mary Immaculate primary school in opening the 

Paterson Reserve dog park.

“These two dog parks will bring to 16 the number of off-leash 

areas in Blacktown City,” Councillor Quilkey said.

themselves, meet fellow dog owners and be part of the 

community. At the same time, the facilities prevent dogs 

interfering with other activities and events in the parks.”

points, shaded seating, fencing and a special gateway

Pedestrian Crossing Required On Busy Pringle Road, Hebersham - Hebersham Community Member!

A Hebersham community, claims that on busy Pringle Road,  especially on the corner of Pringle Road and Sweeney Avenue, Hebersham drastic action needs to be take by the Transport Officers of Blacktown City Council to reduce any safety hazards for walking across the road.

He claims the current situation is dangerous and difficult to cross with the growing traffic. This is also when community members are catching buses from both sides of Pringle Road. "Reaching bus stops on foot, the community must be safe at hand", Suresh says.

He finds that  have a pedestrian crossing at this intersection, will reduce the safety hazards for community members and also for reducing risks for driver having a potential accident with pedestrian in that vicinity.

Let's hope that this community improvement is taken at hand and dealt with in the community's favor!
