Hazelmere Recreation Grounds
Hazelemere Recreation Ground Is Surrounded By Lots Of Fields And Woodland And No Main Roads Which Make It A Perfect Place To Let Dogs Off Lead To Exercise.

Dogs Are Allowed On The Main Recreation Ground Which Is Perfect For Ball Throwing But It Is Recommended To Keep Dogs On Lead If Football Or Cricket Is Being Played. There Are Plenty Of Dog Poo Bins On The Parameter Of The Rec But Not In The Other Green Areas.
