Such a big space and no were to run your dog caus it's mostly no dogs aloud. an awful lot of glass towards the back of the dog run. Also all the grass and thorns are cut back everywhere except the only space I can walk my dog off her lead. I'm getting stung and so is she. Lovely park for family days but rubbish for my poor puppy dog.
