What is a dog park?

It is a purpose built grass field fenced for exercising or training dogs. The field is secured with high quality 6ft skirted fencing and gates, plus chicken wire along the bottom fixed into the ground which means you can exercise your dog/doggies with peace of mind, knowing they can't get out and nobody else can get in!

Poop bins and bags are provided and we ask that you clean up after your doggies to ensure continued enjoyment for everyone.

How do I gain access to the field & where do I park?

Booking is strictly through this website - you will be sent the code to access the field via email and text message 6 hours before. When you arrive you will see the parking is within the secure compound, please do not enter until the previous customer(s) has left.

If you arrive early, there is an overflow/waiting area right outside in the Paddock car park.

Once in the secure compound you will be able to access the field via the pedestrian gate, with a catch pen between the car park and park. The parking area is for your exclusive use during your session.

Please ensure you shut the gate to the car park once you’re in.

Do you allow XL Bully dogs?

We do welcome XL Bully’s as we believe every dog should have the freedom to run wild and free in a secure area. At the end of the day that’s what this dog park is all about, exclusive use for a booked period of time with you knowing you won’t meet any other dogs. Prior to you booking your first session please contact us as we just have to do a bit of house keeping, plus we need to receive you certificate of exemption and public liability insurance before proceeding.

Will I come across any other dogs during my session?

You have exclusive use of the park during your slot. All doggies should remain in vehicles until the vehicle is safely parked inside the secure parking area & the gate has been closed. Other users must wait outside the parking area until your session ends and theirs begins. As a result there should be no unplanned meeting of doggies.

Do you have buffers between sessions?

We do indeed, this is for you and your dogs safety to prevent the cross over of dogs.

Is water available?

Absolutely! We have a dog bowl and washing point by the entrance to the field in the catch pen to wash down paws and rehydrate.

Is the field secure?

We have made our best effort to make Paws in the Park as secure as possible. We have a 6ft tall secure fence and chicken wire around the bottom which goes into the ground to prevent escapes. We also have a double gate system, both on the car park and paddock entry.

What if I forget dog poop bags?

We have this covered! There are bag dispensers of biodegradable bags right by the poop bins for you to pick up the mess left by your doggies during your session. If you do come across any dog poop that wasn’t created by your dog/doggies, please do let us know and we will deal with it accordingly.

Can I cancel my booking?

You can reschedule your booking but are unable to cancel it. All sessions booked at the outset are non-refundable.

I want to hold a class at Paws in the Park - how big is the car park?

Our secure car park has space for 6 cars . We also have an overflow/waiting area straight outside the entrance to the car park which customers can use if they are in larger groups. You would just need to bring a lead to ensure your dog/doggies get from the car to the field safely.

Does my dog have to be vaccinated?

For the enjoyment of all and to ensure everyone stays happy and healthy we ask that all doggies that come to Paws in the Park are fully vaccinated or have Primary DHP vaccinated and undergo annual titre testing. 

If your dog/doggies are unwell we ask that you amend your booking and bring them when they are better, just to avoid spreading bugs to other doggies.

Is there a limit on how many dogs can attend Paws in the Park?

The limited is 10 dogs. The use of Paws in the Park is at the customers own risk. Any doggie attending Paws in the Park is under your custody and control. We ask that our customers use common sense and have a sensible number of humans per dog so that doggies are kept under control and poop patrol is easier!

Please ensure that all doggies coming in groups have socialised harmoniously together before booking Paws in the Park at Burrough Court.
