Condition

C Y O’Connor Beach Horse Exercise Area was traditionally used rather than managed in any formal sense. Since the construction of the South Fremantle Power Station and development of C Y O’Connor Beach (formerly South Beach), the area available for the uses has been reduced and in recent times management regimes have been put in place to prevent dune erosion and to rehabilitate the natural environment. The formalisation of the tracks has detracted from and restricted the former manner of use. Overall the place is in fair to good condition.
