Petition addressed to: Hobart City Council
Bring back the dog poo bags and dispensers, and access to the poo tins (bins) at South Hobart Recreation Ground (the Rec), in Washington and Wentworth Streets, South Hobart
There are now no conveniently located dog poo bins and bags in a convenient location since the Hobart City Council banned dogs from the South Hobart Rec on 1 July 2026.
The bins in the South Hobart Rec are only a few steps within the gates so wrong to deny access to these bins to dog walkers.
Many people walk their dogs in this area as it's central and on the way to shops. Many dogs live near the Rec.
Dog walkers want to do the right thing.
Do the right thing Hobart City Council.
Reason
It is impractical and inconvenient to be expecting all dog walkers to have to walk considerable walking distance to hike up steep Wellesley Street, go to the Hobart Rivulet Track, or to Cascade Gardens to get to the closest dog poo tin (bin) and bag dispenser.
Thank you so much for your support, Hobart Dog Walking Association Inc, South Hobart, TAS 7004

We pay council rates and register our dogs with no amenities. We moved to South Hobart because it was a dog friendly suburb with lots of areas to exercise your dog safely.
The rivulet track is no longer safe due to the speed of bikes. The rec ground has been given to a soccer club. Not really the suburb we moved into anymore!
