Dog off-leash parks

The off-leash parks – which contain dog training, exercise and agility equipment - are designed to give dogs physical exercise and mental stimulation, to help prevent behavioural problems.

We encourage dog owners to make use of these parks, which also offer the chance to get some exercise, contribute to your own health and well-being, and meet other dog owners.

Dog owners must keep all dogs under effective control and clean up after them. Under effective control means:

• the dog must return to its owner on command
• the dog must not bother or worry other people or animals

We provide 7 fully fenced off-leash dog parks at:
