Wāhi korikori tinana

Unless stated otherwise, dogs must be on a leash at all times within the South Taranaki District Urban Areas.

Dogs are prohibited in the following areas:

• The playing surfaces of all sports grounds
• Children's playgrounds
• Council-owned swimming pools (unless specified prior for example Dog Splash Day)

Fenced Dog Park in Hāwera

The District’s first enclosed Dog Park (found at Beech Place Reserve, an open field between Tawa, Ngaio Streets and Kamahi Avenue) is now fully fenced and gated so dogs can run free while still enclosed in the reserve. It’s the start of a longer project which will include involvement from interested groups to plan and discuss landscaping and provide basic dog agility equipment for our pooches. Dog owners are reminded they must carry a leash at all times and should ensure their dog is under continuous control while inside the dog exercise area.
