Olivers Dog Walking Field

A privately-bookable dog field located on the edge of Witham, next to Oliver’s Nursery. It provides a secure, grassy area for off-leash exercise and training. The field features 6’ fencing, a lockable gate system for entry, parking, a small shelter, picnic benches, and a tap for dog water. The space is smaller than some other local dog fields but is convenient and easy to access. The field lacks dog agility equipment and shaded areas apart from the shelter. On occasion, the field can become muddy or waterlogged, and grass may get long. Some users have raised concerns about ongoing maintenance around fence burrows and cleanliness. Booking is done online and there is a charge per session.

Field Feature Notes:
– Secured: 6’ fence and locked gates, secure for most dogs. However, known holes/burrows under the fence have led to puppies and small dogs escaping. Fence may be inadequate for sighthounds due to limited visual barrier.
– Seating: There is a small shelter with a picnic bench and another picnic table in the field. Some tables are reported as wobbly.
– Toilets: No mention of human toilet facilities.
– Toilet Bags: No mention of toilet bag dispensers.
– Bins: Dog waste bins are present.
– Shaded Areas: A small shelter provides limited shade; the rest of the field lacks shaded areas.
– Drinking Water: Water tap available, but one review cited the tap being broken at their visit.
– Water Play Area: No mention or evidence of water play area for dogs.
– Agility Equipment: No dog agility equipment present, but users hope for future additions.
– Park Size: Field is described as smaller than other local options.
– Cost: Booking required, current prices range from £12 to £16 depending on number of dogs.
