Lighting up winter nights for dogs

Winter solstice is upon us but don’t let the longest night stop you from taking your pooch out for an evening stroll 🐶

Sportsground lights are on until 2 September 2023 to provide a safer place to exercise and socialise dogs at night:

  • RJ Sillitoe Reserve, Hampton on Mondays, 5 pm to 8 pm (enter via Lawson Street)
  • William Street Reserve, Brighton on Fridays, 5 pm to 8 pm
  • RG Chisholm Reserve, Sandringham on Fridays, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm (following footy training)

Please be responsible, respectful and safe when exercising your dog.

  • Always maintain effective control
  • Scoop the poop (and bin it) 💩
  • Don’t let your dog dig (holes are dangerous for people and pets)
  • Ask permission before approaching people or dogs
  • Never let your dog run at or jump on others
  • Put your dog back on leash if you need to.
