What our visitors say:

"Oh this is wonderful! As a professional dog walker this is a perfect addition to the local area. It's so simple being able to bring the dogs in my charge here, and have them run around and play. Takes a huge amount off my mind and it's brilliant knowing they won't run off!"

"We always enjoy our outing to the Bark Park. It's safe and secure and my dogs love the run around. It's a beautiful area and we are lucky to be able to share this piece of heaven when we visit."
  ~AB&Tucker
"We thoroughly enjoyed the walk to Bark Park and the field itself! Has very secure fencing and some areas of long grass and some cut! A poo bin which is always a bonus and a lovely straw bench! We will certainly be visiting again! Will recommend to friends!"

"Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof! BARK BARK! Woof-fuffle woof (woof woof bark bark!)"
  ~Lucy The Greyhound
"The best bit about this paw park is the area it's in. It's just so peaceful and this makes it a joy to visit. The other exercise field we use is just so noisy as it's right next to a main road, but at this one it's wonderful. To be honest it would be a lovely place to visit even if we didn't have our dogs with us!"
  ~PdV
"We love being able to walk to this enclosed field. It is fun and biiiiig, lots of sniffs! Hoomans can shelter in the hay house, and there is a poo-bin. The 6ft fencing stopped us from chasing the pesky pheasant in the next field, but we didn't really mind! We will be back!"
  ~T&S
"Rocket and I had a great first time at Little Thakeham Bark Park today. Lots of fun time, running around with confidence he won’t run off"
  ~R&B
"We absolutely loved the walk to the field, and our dogs had a fantastic time enjoying being off lead. We will be making another booking. We can't wait to come back in the Summer when it's a little warmer too. "

"Hi, we booked Sunday just gone and have to say it was absolutely fantastic. The directions you gave were great and the park itself you couldn’t fault at all. We will definitely be returning. The booking process you have is really easy too. Thanks so much!"
