Dog parks

the heathen

Just wondering if any of you folks can recommend good dog parks where I can let my setter run off-lead.

He has no recall so it needs to be enclosed and the bigger the better.

I've been to the one in St Anne's Park a few times and it's great but I'm wondering if there are any other decent ones anywhere.

I'm willing to travel to good ones.

According to my sister the one in Corkeagh Park near Clondalkin is very good

How do dog parks work? I was always curious how people keep their dogs safe from aggressive dogs and owners that aren't paying attention

I do that by staying out of the dog pen lol! ... but my dog has good recall.

I was probably being a bit judgemental of some owners but to be fair I've seen dogs on lead meet another dog and the dog does a textbook broadcast that they're going to want to fight yet the owner can't see in their own dog, what I could see a mile away in a dog I've never met before

Yeah I tend to walk earlier to avoid people like this. I’ve been working from home since March and still walk at 7am lol

Walked by one day last week and it looked like there was going to be a fight. There was one agressive dog who should definitely not have been loose. He wasn't an agressive bred, just a very aggressive dog. He was squaring up to a big German shepherd, who for the most part was ignoring him.

Theres a private dog park in Enniskerry, you have to pay for your hour or whatever, but a friend brought her dog she said she would not be comfortable with dogs she did not know, but she said her dog loved Wonder Paws.

There's a nice dog park in Waterstown park in Palmerstown
Lovely views of the Strawberry Beds in the park itself.
Not a dog owner so don't know how much control over dogs there are in these spots!

Catherine's Park in clonee is great, massive and enclosed. I rarely met an irresponsible owner
