Doggy Playground

Doggy Playground operate a large 4 acre space with plenty of grass, trees and two lakes that's perfect for dog walking.
(30)

A safe place to exercise and train your dog

Whether you have a nervous dog, a dog with poor recall, a rescue with unknown background or a new puppy with no training our secure enclosed setting is a perfect place to walk, play, exercise or train. We offer a completely secure facility which can be booked in 30 minute or 1 hour intervals to exercise your dog(s) without worry of them escaping or meet

ing other dogs or owners. We offer this space for £8 per 30 minutes and £10 for an hour session and you will be the only person using this space at the time meaning you can let your dog(s) roam free off the lead. You will be on private land which means you can exercise up to 4 dogs at the same time. Doggy playground is highly secure with 6ft stock fencing. Please note, there are horses in an adjacent field and the lakes have deep and shallow water. The field is located just off the London Road, in Little Heath Lane, directly behind St John the Evangelist church, HP1 2RU. There is ample free parking available on entering the facility.

Hi guys!

Very quick reminder to pick up dog poo!

You aren’t the only people that use the land so please respect the rules.

We have now got cctv set up at numerous places around the park. Anyone caught not picking up will be immediately banned. (Especially those people chucking poo bags into the bushes and trees!)

Thank you to those that are abiding by the rules and looking after the playground.

29/04/2024

Hi all,

Gentle reminder that we allow a maximum of 4 dogs per visit. Unfortunately we have noticed that some customers are bringing more than 4 dogs which is against the rules of DoggyPlayground. We will be carrying out spot checks in the future so please ensure you adhere to our rules.

Additionally, please can people ensure you take all dog poo home. We do not have facilities to remove and unfortunately keep finding it around. Please be a responsible dog owner and remove all dog waste.

The ground has mostly dried, the trees are beginning to blossom here and we are looking forward to summer at Doggy Playground! We are constantly improving the land to keep it dog friendly for our paw-some customers with our main boss Luna keeping us all under control. We hope you continue to enjoy our playground!

Due to our last open day being such a success we are going to do another one! It will be on Saturday the 29th July from 12:30 to 3:30pm

The gates will be shut at all times so it’s still our secure area meaning the dogs can run free without any worries!

It will be £5 per dog for 3 hours of doggy fun.

We hope to see you then!

❄️❄️ICE WARNING❄️❄️

Please do not go on the ice!

As we’ve faced minus temperatures over the last week or so, the lake has frozen over.

Whilst it looks gorgeous, please remember it is also very dangerous.

With recent events in the news relating to ice water dangers, please remember to be careful.

Encourage your dogs to stay away from the water, but if your dog goes in please do not go after it.

Stay safe and enjoy your visit.

✨Update on Parking✨

We have scraped the mud and put foundational work in to improve the parking and drive way entrance to DoggyPlayground. We have put gravel down and will continue to improve this area for our customers. Please bear with us as it’s not finished yet but is a great improvement.

As you can see from the pictures, the boss at DoggyPlayground Luna was helping as well 🐕

27/11/2022

Hope all our doggy friends have had a lovely weekend and are tucked up cosy and warm.

Due to heavy rain over the last few weeks the car parking area has become very very muddy. It is still ok to drive over as there is a mesh underneath the mud but please dont drive past the cones or you will get stuck!

We apologise for this but as it’s so wet and muddy and due to the nature of the land untill we have a spell of dry weather anything we try and do now will only make it worse for short term. As soon as we can we will improve this area.

Thank you for your understanding.

We have been doing some maintenance on the playground this weekend, which has involved us using some diggers.

Due to this mornings downpour it has made the ground very muddy towards the green gates at the bottom of the field.

Please be careful and we advise sensible footwear!

A small reminder that it gets dark down here and we don’t have lights, bring a torch!

She’s back!

We found our manakin on our island in the middle of the lake. Thank you to the member who had spotted it and informed us.

Even if you thought this was a bit of “armless” fun, she is there for a reason and should not be moved.

Thank you to all the members who continue to respect and look after our land.

However, a polite reminder to pick up their dog’s 💩
Please don’t leave bags of it in the bushes too.

Here at DoggyPlayground, we have noticed some vandalism and theft occurring at the venue.

Both boat oars have been snapped. These are used for the boat in case of emergency with a dog in need. Unfortunately these are not repairable. We hope it was a genuine reason.

Also, the mannequin has been stolen. Whilst it has been topic for a few alarmed people and many points of discussion, it had a purpose to keep herons and cormorants from taking too many fish from the lake

Whilst neither of these are hugely material, it is disappointing that our customers have not informed us of the damage. Please can you get in touch with us confidentially if you know of the reasoning for this. It’s a shame that we are having to consider cctv at the place to stop any further issues occurring.

Best Regards,
Dave, Sam and Ben

Thank You 😊

Today was amazing, we had our first open session with lots of new and existing customers turn up for 2 hours of dog filled fun!

We raised £165 towards my marathon fund for Make-A-Wish UK.

Here’s a few snaps of our four legged friends enjoying themselves 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

“Excuse me sir, do you have any dog treats??”

This good boy was waiting patiently at the bar but unfortunately we werent serving at this time. Maybe in the future 😂

We have noticed a significant increase in dog poo being left at DoggyPlayground. We ask politely that all dog owners take their dog poo home with you and to discard of properly. We understand that some dogs may poo out of sight so expect the occasional poo to be found, however poo left in bags for others to clear is not acceptable.

Please be respectful of the venue and leave it as you would expect to find it. We do appreciate the community of customers who do clear up after their dogs and help us keep the place tidy and clear.

Kind Regards,
DoggyPlayground

It’s been another busy week, great fun for all to run free and splash in the river! We do love seeing your pictures so please do share them with us 🐶🐾🦴

Friendly reminder to please pick up your dog poo and take home 🙏🏻 We do not have facility for dog waste at the moment unfortunately.

Please do not enter until your allotted time, as the gate forms part of the secure perimeter fence and the previous customer may not have the dog into their car yet.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation, and look forward to seeing you all soon!
