A new dog park is set to be built in Newcastle with residents being asked to have their say which suburb would be best.
Lambton Park and Armstrong Park have been flagged as potential sites for the fenced off-leash park.
The changes are a result of the Dogs in Open Space Plan which showed high demand for more dog-friendly fenced areas.
According to Council, 60% of Novocastrians want more off-leash areas for their pets, expressing feedback on shade, signage and seating for the next dog park.
Site selection has opened for consultation and a detailed plan will become available when an area is decided.
The City of Newcastle is also exploring opportunities to improve canine facilities in Adamstown, Islington and Maryland.
Newcastle's first off leash park on Acacia avenue in North Lambton opened in October last year and has received lots of positive feedback.
Locals and community groups are able to provide feedback for the new dog park until the 5pm on the 6th of August at newcastle.nsw.gov.au/YourSay
