They\u2019re getting skate parks, basketball courts, but what about us?\u201d Mr Tylee said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes you\u2019ve got the beach but at my age my knees are bad so I can\u2019t walk along there too much, and there are many older people like me. Also, they\u2019ve got all this negative messaging in the paper with \u2018keep your dogs on a leash\u2019 yet do not provide any positive messaging or solutions,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Tesch says she hopes the issues will be addressed so pooches across the Coast can enjoy more of the region without a lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen managed effectively, considering both public safety and animal welfare, it is possible for more of our public areas to be off-leash. There are many accessible and appropriate areas where we can do this, and when park infrastructure is updated it is a consideration that needs to be taken into account more often,\u201d Ms Tesch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Listen via the Star 104.5 Player, download it now via the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/au\/app\/star-104-5-central-coast\/id1068731232\"><em>App Store<\/em><\/a><em> or <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=au.com.star1045\"><em>Google Play<\/em><\/a><em> and take Star 104.5 wherever you go.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Images:\u00a0Getty <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Bek Lougher<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE MORE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.star1045.com.au\/home\/get-ready-to-make-a-splash-cause-there-is-a-massive-water-park-coming-to-lake-macquarie-in-2023\/\">Get Ready To Make A Splash \u2018Cause There Is A Massive Water Park Coming To Lake Macquarie in 2023<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calls have increased for Central Coast Council and the NSW Government to develop a \u201cDogs In Open Space Strategy\u201d in response to more demand than ever before for more public spaces and off-leash areas for residents and their pooches.
