Off-leash parks are a great place to give your dog the freedom to run, explore, and socialize with other dogs and people. These parks often have fenced-off sections within an existing park to prevent your dog from escaping or getting lost. Owners also benefit from off-leash parks because they’re able to socialize with other dog owners. There are usually public toilets available, as well as coffee trucks.
The UK has many beautiful and well-loved parks. Many of these allow your dog to go off their leash in certain areas or months of the year. No matter where you are, there is sure to be an off-leash park nearby.
