BOTHASIG RESERVE: NO DOGS ALLOWED FROM 1 JANUARY

esidents near the Bothasig Fynbos Reserve are apparently not too happy about the prospect of having their pooches banned from the reserve’s sandy pathways come next year. Clive Owen, chairperson of the Bothasig Residents’ Association (BRA), says several dog owners who regularly exercise their dogs in the reserve approached the BRA after City officials, in conjunction with the ward councillor, Helen Carstens, decided the reserve will be closed to dog walkers from 1 January. Owen says the main reasons given for the proposed closure are the new enclosed dog park to be built adjacent to Bos-
mansdam High School; dog owners failing to pick up their dogs’ excrement, thus causing a health hazard when mowing the public paths; dogs being off leash, which has at times resulted in dog fights and injuries to moles, and that the original intention when establishing the reserve was to temporarily allow dogs on leashes until such time as certain mammals were introduced to the reserve. Carstens says she’s been toying with the idea of a dedicated dog park for some time. “I have been on many site visits with officials to look at what is available and best suited for a dog park. A number of criteria had to be taken into account, with the most important being accessibility, she says.

Carstens says she wanted an area with plenty of space for dogs to run and roam freely. There are a number of open spaces in Edgemead and Bothasig, but with the larger ones being in Bothasig the decision fell on the open land on Adam Tas Avenue adjacent to Bosmansdam High School. Carstens says there are many plans for the dog park and, as it will be done with ward allocation, it will be completed over a number of financial years. Currently the tender is out for the fencing and once the fence is up, the park will be usable. She’s been told the fence should be in place by December, but there are many variables that could delay this. The plans for the park include the side-

walk curb to be dropped and moved back 8m to allow for parking. The next stage is pathways and lighting, after which an area for small dogs will be cordoned off within the bigger park. Carstens is looking at placing play equipment in this area later on. There will be some benches and poo bins as well as water troughs, but dog owners will need to bring their own water. Carstens says that as far as the Bothasig Fynbos Reserve is concerned, this is a “newly” established reserve and from the onset, it was the intention to build the reserve to the point where wild animals could be introduced and then dog walking would not be allowed.
