The walking trails that run along Steele Creek and through Spring Gully Reserve are used by cyclist as well as walkers please ensure that your dog does not cause problems for these users of the reserve

When using an off leash dog park it is important that you still have voice control over your dog and in the event that you need to call him/her back that they listen and obey your commands.

When using off leash dog parks remember that not everyone has well trained and socialized dogs.  Consider talking to other dog owners in the park before allowing dogs to play together. 

Remember to take plenty of fresh water for your dogs as they will be thirsty after all that running around.
