I wanted to start the new year on a positive note and thank the Byron Shire Council for opening the new dog parks.
I’d asked Council some time ago to make this happen, noting the importance of having two dog parks – one for small dogs and another for the large-to-medium variety, as well as for the social life of both dogs and humans. Not to mention the importance of striving to keep the canines out of areas where our wildlife struggle to survive.
Well done all involved – I’m not a dog owner but really appreciate this wise and helpful initiative.
