Bayside Council is proposing a fenced off-leash dog park in Linear Park, Mascot, in response to strong community demand.

Linear Park is a well-used green space in a high-density area, and residents have asked for more recreational facilities. A recent petition called for a safe, enclosed space where dogs can exercise off-leash, separate from other park users.

The proposed site is at the park's eastern end, near Gardeners Road and O’Riordan Street. The area is approximately 62m x 13.5m, 825 sqm, and the length of the proposed fence is 95 lineal meters.
