Within our parks and open spaces, there are lots of areas for you to walk and exercise your dog.  
Click on the below map and zoom in to see which areas of our parks require dogs to be on leads and where they can be exercised off leads. 

The RED areas show where dogs are excluded

The ORANGE areas show where dogs must be walked on a lead of not more than 2 metres in length

The GREEN areas show where a dog can be exercised off lead. However in these areas a dog owner may be required to place their dog on a lead of not more than 2 metres in length by an authorised Council Officer to prevent a nuisance, or where the dog’s behaviour is likely to cause annoyance or disturbance to any other persons or animal.
