Dogs on leashes can also exercise or walk with their fur parents on Western Parklands’ 60 km trails and tracks. Just make sure to protect your dog from hot pavement and watch out for signs of heatstroke.
But more than dog engagement, what sets Shale Hills apart from other dog-friendly parks in Western Sydney is its care for dog health and comfort.
