This Is A Great Place To Walk Dogs In All Weather! There Are A Number Of Different Routes You Can Take Around The Park, There Are A Couple Of Lakes/Ponds Which Do Have Ducks/Geese But There Are Still Plenty Of Spots Where The Dogs Can Get In For A Swim. Sunday Is A Popular Day For Horse Riders So Something To Watch Out For. The Train Track Is Fenced But Best Use Caution When Walking Past To Ensure Your Dog Doesn’T Get Past.
