About

Holt Dog Park is a safe and relaxed space for you to train and exercise your dog(s) hassle free!

We understand the need for daily dog walking and have built a park that caters for all types of dogs.

We have a large 2 acre field available which can be hired on an exclusive basis.

The field includes agility equipment such as a see-saw, a spider climber, tractor wheels, weaving poles and jumps! 

The park is perfect to practice recall especially for young or temperamental dogs! There is also a sensory garden with a variety of dog friendly plants to sniff and explore.

We also have an open shelter with water supply available and a new coffee machine which takes card payment! The coffee machine is open everyday from 8am.

Terms & Conditions

Any violations to these terms of conditions may lead to removal of all future rights to use our field. 

All dog owners / dog walkers are responsible for picking up their own dog waste and place in the dog waste bins provided. 

We value the safety, security and freedom of an enclosed space away from footpaths and other public spaces. 

We would advise keeping your dog(s) on the lead in the car park and anywhere other than within the fenced dog park vicinity. The reasoning for this is mainly for the dogs safety if there is more than one vehicle per booking. Please note this is down the customers discretion.

The 50 minute slots are designed with a ten minute changeover to allow the customer to safetly exit with their dog. In this time, the next customer should wait and park safely outside the car park until the previous customer has left.

The dog park perimeter fencing is checked daily for cleanliness and security. If you have any concerns or would like to report any damages, please notify us by emailing us from the contact page.

If your dog is showing signs of kennel cough, diarrhoea or vomiting you must cancel your session.

The Dog Park will be frequently mowed and looked after to ensure your dog has the best time! 

Weather Conditions, Field Closures & Cancellations

Holt Dog Park is an outdoor facility and is open all year round. By booking a session, customers acknowledge that ground conditions will vary depending on the weather. During wet or winter periods, mud, standing water, and softer ground conditions are unavoidable.

Weather & Ground Conditions

We do not offer refunds due to bad weather, rain, wind, or muddy ground conditions. It is the responsibility of the customer to check the weather forecast before attending and to decide whether conditions are suitable for their visit.

Some customers don’t mind muddy conditions, while others prefer not to visit because of them — everyone is different. For this reason, we offer a 24-hour rescheduling or cancellation policy, allowing customers to change or cancel their booking up to 24 hours before their session if the forecast is not favourable.

Field Closures

In extreme circumstances, if we believe a field has become unfit for purpose, we reserve the right to close the park at short notice to protect the land and allow it to recover. In such cases, affected bookings will be contacted directly.

Temporary closures may occasionally be necessary to prevent long-term damage and to maintain the quality and safety of our fields.

Customer Responsibility

By proceeding with a booking and attending a session, customers accept the current weather and ground conditions at the time of their visit and attend at their own discretion.

We strongly recommend checking the local forecast before arrival and wearing suitable footwear and clothing, particularly during wetter periods.
