Sheps Park Loop
Blenheim · Marlborough · Loop
The dog rule shown here is resolved against the council zone this walk sits in. Route details come from licensed public walk data. Marlborough District Council’s own wording: “"At any children's playground dogs must be 3 metres away from the outside edge safety surfacing (external to the playground) irrespective of the area being a dog off-leash area. Where this is not physically possible dogs must be on-leash on the formed pathway or footpath (except in dog prohibited playgrounds)." (Marlborough District Council, dog exercise (off-leash) areas, district wide note). Sheps Park is an off-leash area, and the only pinch on this loop is the short stretch past the children's playground where the track starts and finishes, so the lead goes on there and comes off again for the rest of the park”. Evidence: the council’s own mapped rule zone. How we check dog rules.
