Works

Construction of the new Cambridge Dog Park at Cambridge Oval will commence in July and will be complete in early 2026.

The park is set to open in early 2026, and once complete, will be Clarence’s second dedicated off-lead facility, designed to provide a safe, inclusive, sensory and enriching space for dogs and their owners.

Spanning 1.5 hectares, the park will include:

• Two fully-fenced exercise zones – one for sensitive pooches and one for more sociable hounds
• A gravel dog training area
• Nature-based play features, including logs, rocks, and textured surfaces
• A central ‘pup hub’ meeting area with seating
• Water refill stations and shady spots for cooling off
• 6,000 square metres of lush new turf
• Accessible walking paths, and a new car park
• More than 70 new trees and extensive landscaping to make it a true canine paradise.

Initial works will see the land being reshaped for better accessibility and the repurposing of existing dams, laying the foundation for a thoughtful and inviting open space.

These works are part of the broader Cambridge Oval Master Plan.

Disruption Type: Weather dependant

Council is currently planning upgrade works on Pass Road, Rokeby, between Glebe Hill Road and Connor Place. It is intended the upgrading work from Winterborne Road to Connor Place be undertaken in 2025-2026, subject to contractor availability, with these works to be followed by the upgrading work from Glebe Hill Road to Winterborne Road.

Council plans to improve and widen the road so that it is more suitable for the increased traffic and type of vehicles using the road. Additionally, a shared path is to be provided on the western side of Pass Road from Glebe Hill Road to Winterborne Road with allowance for a possible future shared path from Winterborne Road to Connor Place.

The road widening will also require the relocation of some underground services and overhead power lines and poles.
