In opening the park, Barry paid tribute to the late Les Dalton, who came up with the original vision for the idea.
Dalton worked for the Hutt City Council's animal control services team for 43 years, and was a prominent local and national voice about dog control.
Michelle Dalton, Les' daughter, spoke on behalf of the whānau, and said that she knew Les would be looking down on the park with a smile.

These are beautiful. They measure approximately 27x18cms each. They seem to be made of China as they are reasonably heavy and solid with a metal hook on the back.
$8 each or both for $15. Must be picked up from Woburn.
I’m clearing out heaps of stuff. All must go. Delicious bread can be made in this. It has a great auto menu.

This has never been used. It comes with heaps of extra rolls, instructions etc. More are readily available. I bought it for $299 but went touring in my van and it’s just been stored.

"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say what suburb you live in.
This has everything you need I think. Even the heating pad, some flavours etc. It’s been in storage so needs cleaning. Must be picked up as it’s too awkward to post.
