Upper sturt dog park is located at the junction of sturt valley rd and ironbank rd, yet its facilities fall short of expectations. The park consists of bitumen courts that are uninviting for dogs and lack necessary amenities like grassy areas. Users have criticized it as underutilized and inappropriate for dogs, particularly during summer when surfaces become too hot. Despite its convenient location, the space is seen as a poor use of resources and fails to meet the needs of its intended users.
