Dog walking areas

Dogs must be on a leash at all times unless in a sign-posted designated off-leash area.

Pick up your dog's waste!

Dog waste bags are provided as a courtesy to dog owners. Please be considerate of others and only take what you need. Always have a bag with you, just in case there's none available. Dispose of your dog's waste properly.

You will find dog waste bag dispensers at these locations:

  • Coleambally: Curlew Park, Skate Park (along the walking track) and Coleambally Lions Park
  • Darlington Point: CWA Park, Lions Park, Fig Tree Park and Adrian Douglas Park
  • Jerilderie: Jerilderie Lake Walking Track, Luke Park and RSL Park
