Park improvements
An enclosed dog park was opened at Gilpin Park in July 2018. This is an area which is fenced off with a dual access gate entry. Signs at the entries provide clear guidelines about what is expected of owners and handlers and their dogs when they are at Gilpin Park, particularly inside the fenced area.
See Gilpin Park enclosed dog park for project details.
