Work begins on Wainuiomata dog park

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry and Wainuiomata Ward Councillor Keri Brown have turned the first sod to mark the start of work on the Wainuiomata dog park.
Campbell Barry says he is delighted to see work starting on the park, and is looking forward to seeing dog owners from across the city using the space later this year.
“The new park is going to be a great asset for all dog owners right across Lower Hutt. It’s fantastic to celebrate this milestone, particularly with the Waiu Dog Park Committee who have been working hard behind the scenes,” says Campbell Barry.
