The Aranga Reserve off-lead dog park is set for an upgrade to improve the park’s safety, usability and comfort for both dogs and their owners.
This upgrade will be delivered with support from a $200,000 State Government grant, through Round 2 funding of its New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.
Located in Donvale, Aranga Reserve features a fenced dog activity park, playspace, and picnic area.
The concept for the grant application was developed in consultation with Friends of Manningham Dogs and Cats (FOMDAC). The proposed improvements include:
new entry gates and fencing to improve access and safety
new and upgraded equipment and play areas
additional seating and shaded areas
new lighting to improve safety
additional planting to improve shade.
The total project budget is $300,000.
Consultation on this upgrade is planned for late 2025, with delivery expected in the 2025–26 financial year.
The Aranga Reserve dog park upgrade is supported by the Victorian Government through the New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.
