A new dog park has been launched at Dungannon Park, as part of a pilot initative suggested by the Council's Development committee.

The park consists of two enclosures, one for small dogs, recommended for dogs that weigh under 13.5kg, and one for large dogs, that weigh over 13.5kg. Placement of dogs in either enclosure is at the owners discretion.

Dog Park Rules

• Dog owners are responsible for the actions/behaviour of their dogs at all times and are liable for any injuries or damage caused by their dogs.

• Dogs are only permitted off their leads inside the enclosures and must be kept on a lead at all other times.

• Dogs should be under control at all times. Aggressive dogs must be removed immediately.

• Dog foul must be removed immediately and disposed of in the bins provided. If you allow your dog to foul in a public place without cleaning up the mess, you are committing an offence and could be fined £50.

• Dog owners must be within the dog park and supervising their dog with a lead readily available.

• Never leave your dog unattended.

• Under 16's are not allowed in the dog park unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

• Only people exercising their dogs should use the park.

• All Greyhounds, Whippets and any strain or cross of these breeds are required to be muzzled at all times whilst in the dog park.
