Secure Dog Field Muddy Paws Paddock

A large, fenced field dedicated to off-lead dog exercise and play. The area includes a picnic table, summerhouse for shelter, tyres and jumps for agility, and a paddling pool for water play. Parking is available nearby. The field is popular for its open space and security, allowing dogs to run freely. Fresh water is available by hose or tap, and there are bins and bags for waste. There is a hut or shed for shelter and seating during poor weather. However, there are frequent reports of poor maintenance, such as long grass, large holes, and full bins, with some concerns about cleanliness, signage, and occasional rude presence of owners and their dogs.
