Ranger Update

Rotaract Park recently re-opened as a designated dog-exercise space where your beloved canine – large or small – can run freely, and safely, off the lead.

Walkin’ the Dog!

Council’s Rangers would like to remind the dog walking public that in all public areas, dogs must remain under effective control at all times in the allocated areas provided by ASTC. Any dog deemed by Rangers to be not under the control of its owner in these allocated areas may be required to be put on leash.

If you are exercising your animal in public other than the leash free zones, your animal must remain on the lead. ASTC has implemented this regulation to keep pets and the public safe and comfortable when out and about.

There are many areas around Alice Springs where dog owners are encouraged to exercise their pooches off-leash, including the newly opened Rotaract Park Dog Park. In an exciting first for Alice Springs, Rotaract Park has been redesignated as a 24-hour dog park with pets able to be off leash at all times of the day.

Excluding Anzac Oval and TIO Traeger Park, dogs may be exercised on Council sporting grounds between 5am and 8am. Most of these facilities also supply ‘doggy do’ bags and bins for owners to pick up after their pets.
