Dog park opens near Shrewsbury

Rowton Grange Secure Dog Field has opened near Shrewsbury.

The dog field, which is located on the A458 opposite Rowton Castle, is an acre in size and has been fully enclosed with 1.8m high fencing. It has a coded gate, car park, and hourly slots are available seven days a week.

Hayley Williams, who launched the venture after completing a business start-up course with consultants Good2Great, told Shropshire Live: “Dogs are meant to be able to run free and enjoy what is in front of them. We allow your pet to feel like a dog once more and help it live its best life.”

She added: “Good2Great has given me the confidence to push forward with the business idea and the mentorship I received afterward gave me further insight as to how I could develop the business in the future.

“We are the only facility like this in the area but that doesn’t mean I can rest on my laurels. If anything I need to be very proactive in promoting this business venture and Good2Great have given me the skills and confidence to do so.”
