Are you a dog person, a cat person or just a pets-in-general person? Believe it or not, when it comes to preferred pets in the Wollongong Local Government Area, it’s the canines that come out on top, with more than double the number of registered dogs to cats in the city.
According to our records, in the last 15 years there have been 34,000 dogs registered in the city, and more than 14,000 cats. With so many dogs living and loving life here in the City of Wollongong, we thought we’d share our top five places to take your pooch this summer.
We know our beaches are a popular outing for dogs and their owners. That’s why we use the traffic light system to show when dogs are and are not allowed.
- Green-zones = this area is an off-leash dog beach or park.
- Orange-zones = this is a timed, on-leash area.
- Red zones = dogs are not allowed at any time. This can include areas such as near where Lifeguards are patrolling, where red and yellow flags are up, and on rock platforms.
To help you get started, here is our top five dog-friendly beaches and parks to visit this summer. And if that’s not enough, see here for the full list of dog beaches and parks.
