As a smaller dog owner (Cavoodle) it's sadly not much use. The park is surrounded by a busy road without fencing which is a worry in itself. I am unable to release my dog freely at the park as if a larger dog came to use it, and they were to chase my smaller dog its either getting attacked or running onto the road to get away.

Big area for the dogs to run around off leash, council bin & doggy poo bags provided which is a big bonus!

Just a basic grass area. Some how people drive through from park. I released my dog but l was little panic about car passes inside the park
