Bundaberg Regional Council is proud to host ‘A Dog’s Day Out’ this November at Burnett Heads!
8am – 11am Saturday 4 November 2023
Jack Strathdee Memorial Park, Neill Street, Burnett Heads
‘A Dog’s Day Out’ is on a mission to foster responsible pet ownership within our region. It will balance fun, education, competitions and provide a fun morning for our furry friends and their owners around Burnett Heads!
The event also coincides with the official opening ceremony of Council’s new Burnett Heads sensory dog off leash park.
The new park comes fully equipped with designated small and all dog areas, agility equipment, a dog bubbler, shade and seating areas for our dog owners. The park also includes a larger all dog area as well as open grassed areas which help for line of sight. If you’re unfamiliar with sensory parks, they’re quite unique and we’re excited to have one in our region. It’s got rocks, mulch, lots of trees (and smells) for your dog to explore.
