Both Rofe Park and Greenway Park have dedicated small dog areas.
Unfenced off-leash area
The site at Lyne Rd Reserve, Cheltenham, has water, waste bags and a bin, but no fence.
Shared off-leash areas
Two other shared sites are available.
At both of these sites dogs are NOT PERMITTED during organised sport and games or maintenance activities.
Using off-leash areas
To ensure off-leash areas are safe and enjoyable for everyone, please consider other users and:
- Keep your dog in sight at all times;
- Make sure your dog is under control by voice;
- Pick up and dispose of all waste correctly;
- Do not let your dog rush at or harass other dogs and people;
- Keep your dog on a lead until it is inside the fenced area and put it back on a lead before leaving.
Off-leash dog park strategy
