Woof of approval for Whitehaven dog off-leash upgrades
Published on 10 August 2026
Grab your lead and get excited – there's a new reason for Mulgrave's 4-legged locals to visit Whitehaven Crescent Reserve.
The upgraded dog off-leash area is now open, giving dogs more opportunities to sniff, climb, balance and explore.
A new agility zone features mudstone rocks, agility hoops, timber logs and a paws table, creating a more enriching experience than a traditional open grass area.
Remy and his 2-legged human, Adrian, are regular visitors to the reserve.
"The space looks fantastic, and I know my little fella loves playing chasey around it," Adrian said.
