🚜 Something new has arrived at Dog Field at Dunston Heath! 🐾

We’ve been busy making a few more improvements to the field!

Introducing our brand-new wooden tractor! Whether your dog loves climbing, exploring, or simply posing for a photo from the driver’s seat, we hope it’ll be a fun new addition for everyone to enjoy. (We think it’s already had Finley’s approval! 😄)

We’ve also added more picnic seating, giving families and friends another comfortable spot to sit, relax and watch the dogs having the best time.

We know every customer is different. Some prefer a simple open space to let their dogs run, while others love having extra things to explore. We’re always trying to strike the right balance, so we’d love to hear what you think.

Let us know in the comments:
• What do they enjoy most when visiting the field?
• Is there anything else you’d love to see in the future?

Your feedback genuinely helps shape the field, and we really appreciate all your ideas and support.

📸 If you snap any photos of your dogs enjoying the new additions, don’t forget to tag us—we’d love to see them!

💦 Splash Season is BACK! 🐶

Our old paddling pool certainly had a good innings… after lots of happy paws, zoomies, splashing and plenty of fun, it was definitely starting to show its age! 🐾

We’re pleased to say we’ve finally managed to get our hands on a new paddling pool, and it’s ready for your four-legged friends to enjoy. 🌊

With the warmer weather here, it’s the perfect way for your dogs to cool off, splash about and make the most of their visit.
