How It Works​

​

1. Book Online
   Reserve your 25 or 55-minute session for private hire of our dog park directly through our booking system.

2. Receive Gate Code
   12 hours before your booked time, you'll receive an email with arrival and departure instructions, plus your gate code. You will use this code to access the small foot gate. We will also send the code 25 minutes before your booked time.

3. Arrive Safely
   When your time slot begins, park your car securely inside the fenced parking area, the car park gate should already be open. Please keep your dogs in the car until the outer gate is closed and latched from the inside. You can then use the gate code to enter the park.

4. Enjoy Your Private Session
   Explore at your own pace — run, sniff, play, train or relax! The space is all yours.

5. Leave On Time
   Please exit promptly at the end of your booking to ensure the next visitor can enter safely after the 5-minute buffer. Kindly lock the small gate with the number padlock and leave the outer gate open for the next visitor
