Dog Lovers Of Monte Cecilia Fundraiser

Every cup you enjoy from Industry Coffee helps us move closer to unleashed freedom at Monte Cecilia, thank you for being part of the journey.

Monte Cecilia Park — in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau — is one of the most loved dog-walking destinations in Auckland. It’s a daily meeting ground for children, neighbours, and dog lovers alike.

From 1 August 2025, the Communities and Residents (C & R) majority on the Puketāpapa Local Board voted to remove Monte Cecilia Park’s small off‑leash “bowl” and impose an on‑leash‑only rule across the entire park, completely disregarding over a thousand community voices.

Born in Monte Cecilia’s beloved off-leash “bowl,” this movement has become a formidable force—proving that when a community’s cherished meeting place is taken without regard for due process, people unite to demand transparency, accountability, and a voice at the table.

It’s time to take a stand.
