Petersfield Dog Park

16/05/2024

We're at our best at this time of year. Everything is blooming in to life and the park is firm under foot so we can give it a good mow.

As usual we've set half the park to open play meadow and the other half to wide pathways through longer grass sections. We've replaced lots of fencing with new wire mesh which not only looks more aesthetically pleasing but has created better separation between the business park and the dog park. It's also allowed us to open up a corner of previously inaccessible trees to explore.

We'll continue to replace and add new features over the coming months. But now is certainly the best time to enjoy our Dog Park.

🥎 We've dropped the ball 🥎

A combination of rainy weather, user damage and staff availability has meant we've not kept pace with maintenance of the Dog Park as we'd expect. We're working really hard to rectify this and hope to be able to present the Dog Park as we expect it to be very shortly. Please bare with us during this time.

If anyone is interested in maintaining and improving our grounds please contact [email protected] to discuss options.

We're upping our water feature game this summer with a shaded mist tent and paddling pool.

To activate the misters simply turn on the adjacent tap. Please remember to turn off any water features when finished.

As the heat stacks up we're adding extra shade both in the car park and dog park.

This is the alternative route to reach us from Petersfield as Stoner Hill Road is closed from 2nd May to 12th May for emergency tree felling. It is 10 minutes longer:

🚗 Take the A272 towards Wi******er
🚗 When you reach the top of the wooded hill outside of Langrish take a sharp right turn (it's a switch-back) signposted Froxfield Green.
🚗 The road will sweep right around a church, stay on this road sticking right at any junctions.
🚗 You will approach the Canine Fitness Centre from the opposite direction on Stoner Hill Road.

We will be putting out high vis orange signs where we can to try to direct you.

We have just learnt that will close Stoner Hill from the 2nd May to 12th May for emergency tree felling. We will text and email clients over the bank holiday weekend with an alternative road to reach us.

I was looking for something interesting to do with our dogs today so cut down some overhanging branches which are now piled in the dog park for some awesome sensory games. Let us know how your dogs get on!

These dog poo vacuums are £1,600 each. As fun as they look we just can't afford to buy this for those of you who insist on not picking up your dog's poo.

So, please, please and even more pleases pick up after your dog! We've had several comments that the last few weeks have seen a rise in non-picking up.

This month a dog park in Southampton closed because it was getting too much, and another became a members only place because they were facing similar problems. We don't want to have to follow tact.

As the mists began to rise this morning we finished the first grass cut of the year. It must be

We're on a mission this spring to upgrade Petersfield Dog Park.

We've done some basics over the last few weeks such as new screening between the dog park and The Canine Fitness Centre, repairing the tap, clearing more space for car parking by the pedestrian entrance, added balance games, planted 3 new trees in memory of lost ones, cleared and filled the old paddling pool. Even the mower is on charge ready for the first trim.

But as everything starts to dry out and spring is around the corner we'd love to hear from you what changes, improvements and things of interest you'd like to see for your dogs?

Please send us a facebook message or share your thoughts to: [email protected]

13/03/2022

Sorry it's taken so long but we're pleased to say the tap is now fixed, our memorial plantation is now in, and we've cleared the tarpaulin sheets. A good day spring cleaning today!

Storm Eunice got us! Not too badly given how many fallen trees there were around us but this weekend the Dog Park is closed so that we can repair and replace damaged fencing and make the Dog Park safe.

18/02/2022

It was definitely the right thing to close today. This is Stoner Hill right now and we've heard from those onsite that the fencing has blown. We'll be up as soon as it is safe to do so to repair and make good what we can. Sessions on Saturday may also be cancelled whilst we make the space safe.

18/02/2022

Please note that we are closed today and will assess damage this evening or first thing tomorrow morning in the hope to be reopen as soon as reasonable practicable.

⚠️ WE ARE CLOSED TODAY ⚠️

A once in 20 year weather event is happening today with . The met office have upgraded the weather alert over Petersfield to a "Red Warning" between 10:00 and 16:00 today.

A red warning means that it is very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure.

As you know we are very exposed on the top of Ashford Hangers with access roads prone to falling trees in bad weather. In the interests of safety of our clients, staff and visitors we have made the decision to close today.

A member of the team will be in touch today to reschedule your appointments. Thank you for your understanding.

To those rotters who think P**p fairies are real then please go and take a long stand in the rain and think again! Please. It's not difficult. When your dog squats so should you... with a bag in your hand ready to pick up those golden nuggets!

One area of works is our overflow carpark where they will be tidying up the old builders waste pile. Parking remains open for the pedestrian gate and is marked out with cones and floor paint.

There will be building works over the next two weeks at our site. Please keep dogs on leads and beware of heavy machinery. Our services are not affected by these works.

Some gentle amusement for a Thursday evening 😂

Well, got us too. The field shelter has done a back flip into the neighbours field. Do any of our clients have a telehandler or tractor that could help?

❄️ CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS ❄️

Christmas is just around the corner and with both Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day all falling on weekends there are lots of bank holidays and times we have to be closed due to our planning permission.

Spaces will disappear quickly so we recommend booking early. If you booked a day that we need to be closed we'll be in touch with you to reschedule.

We would welcome any information as to how our fence got slashed?

It looks like a deliberate act of vandalism to us. Especially as no one has reported any issues.

Thanks to Hayley and David for their quick reporting which allowed us to temporarily secure it for their session and then add a new reinforcing layer before the next user.
