THE DOG PARK - Three Legged Cross

The Dog Park at Three Legged Cross is an 8-acre secure dog field near Bournemouth, offering private hire sessions for off-lead exercise, recall training and safe running space. The fully enclosed site — with 2-metre high fencing throughout — is designed for dogs who thrive away from the unpredictability of public parks, making it especially useful for reactive dogs, nervous rescues or anyone who wants uninterrupted fetch sessions without the lead tangle.

The site splits into a 6-acre running field and a separate 2-acre adventure playground with agility equipment, water features and climbing structures. On-site facilities include fresh water, poo bags, bins, seating, rain shelters, toilets, a snack shack with hot and cold drinks, and CCTV with staff on site throughout. Hard standing parking is available, and the park is floodlit for evening sessions in winter. Bookings can be made by phone or online.

Located 9 miles from Bournemouth town centre, every session is sole-use — so the whole space belongs to one group at a time. Summer hours run 8am to 8pm daily; winter hours run 8am to 7pm daily. For dogs who need space to properly stretch their legs, this is a solid plan.
