The 6 dog parks we hold within 25 km of Geraldine, each with what the council actually says about the fence. Not one of them carries a published fencing statement, which is the state of the record rather than a claim that none are fenced.
Most of these have no fencing statement at all. That is the honest state of the record, not a gap we have papered over: councils publish where dogs may go off the lead far more often than they publish whether the place is enclosed. Where a page says nothing, we say nothing, and you should walk in on the lead and look.

If we have something wrong, tell us and we will recheck it.Full attribution
