A two hectare dog park was established in Gladstone Park in 2017 - access to this is from Gladstone Road, Woodend or Hakatere Road, Pegasus.
The park features separate large and small dog park areas which are fenced so dogs can be let off leash to run and play. A pleasant walking circuit, information signs and seating are provided, along with dog waste bags, bins and a water supply.
In time the new trees will grow to provide areas of shade and basic dog agility equipment added for dogs to play on. This is a space for dogs to enjoy exploration, outdoor exercise and large open space. It is therefore not highly manicured and is kept as a safe but more natural environment for dogs to enjoy.
