Park T&C’s / Rules

Cranford Dog Walking Meadow

Rules

To keep Cranford Dog Walking Park safe and enjoyable for everyone, please take a moment to read and follow the rules below.

Cleanliness and Waste

  • Always pick up your dog’s waste and place it in the bins provided.

  • We encourage the use of plant-based, corn starch poo bags wherever possible.

  • Please take all other rubbish home with you — no BBQs are permitted.

Use of the Fields

  • Do not allow your dog to dig or damage the ground.
  • Please arrive only at your booked time. Waiting outside the field can cause distress to both dogs and owners.
  • If the previous user runs into your booking slot, let us know.
  • Be courteous to others at all times.
  • If you arrive late, your session cannot be extended.
  • Leave enough time to tidy up, secure your dog, and exit the field before your slot ends.
  • On leaving, re-padlock the gate and reset the combination lock to 0000.
  • For Field 2 and Field 3, please also lock the track gate behind you when entering and leaving.
  • If you think you may be the last person in the field 2 or 3, please close the car park gate and lock when you leave so that we do not get wildlife in the field overnight.

Children and Equipment

  • Children must be supervised at all times.
  • The agility equipment is for dogs only – please do not allow children to climb on it, gates, or fences.
  • Any damage must be reported immediately. Repair costs may be charged if damage occurs through misuse.

Dog Health and Safety

  • Dogs using the park must be fully vaccinated, flea- and worm-treated, and in good health.
  • Please do not bring your dog if they show any signs of illness.
  • Use of the car park, fields, and track is entirely at your own risk. Cranford Dog Park and associated businesses cannot be held responsible for loss, theft, damage, injury, or accidents involving people, pets, or property.
  • It is your responsibility to check that the field is suitable for your dog before use. While we maintain our fences and gates regularly, we cannot be held liable for any escapes. Report any damage or issues immediately.
  • Please note the terrain may be uneven and may contain stones, branches, or burrows from wildlife.

Bookings and Insurance

  • All bookings must be made in advance through the Cranford Dog Park website.
  • Professional dog walkers or trainers must provide valid Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance before using the park

Data and Media

  • Personal information is only retained for booking purposes and to contact you if required. We never share your data with third parties.
  • Photos you share with or tag us in may be used on our social media, website, or marketing materials unless you ask otherwise.

Agreement

By making a booking, you agree to these rules and our Terms and Conditions. This agreement does not create any rights over the land. The landowner retains control and possession of all paddocks and communal areas at all times.

XL BULLY DOGS – IMPORTANT NOTICE

We’re sorry to announce that we can no longer accept XL Bully dogs at our fields.

 

This decision has been made following discussions with our insurance provider and after reviewing the layout and shared use of our site. As a multi-field facility with a public bridleway running alongside two of the fields, there is a possibility of contact between visitors and members of the public. Because of this, our insurer and park management have concluded that the site is not suitable for XL Bully dogs to be exercised off-lead or unmuzzled.

 

We know this will be disappointing news for some of our regular visitors, and we truly appreciate your understanding.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
