Cambridgeshire to welcome new dog park

A new dog park is set to open at Lodge Farm on the outskirts of Thorney in Cambridgeshire. 

The five-acre site, at the farm on Crowland Road, will include a small training field, large exercise field, a woodland walking area, and a secure car park, all enclosed by a 6ft perimeter fence.  

The park will offer dog owners the chance to hire the park for either themselves or a group of friends for an hour or more. 

Farm owner Roz Harper told the Peterborough Telegraph: “It’s a great way to diversify and I really think that parks like these are the future of dog walking.  

“They are fairly important at the moment due to the upcoming ban of XL bullies, meaning these parks may be the only places they can run free.”  

Plans are currently to open the park on 1 November between 8am and 4pm daily, with dog walkers able to book online or via text.
