About Me

Our Story

Pooches Playground is a safe and welcoming place for dogs and their owners to play, train, and socialize. Located in scenic South Yorkshire, with easy transport links via the M1, it's the perfect spot for your furry friend to have fun and stay active.

The field covers 2 acres, split into two 1 acre fields with secure, 6ft tall fences. We also have secure on-site parking, so you can fully focus on enjoying playtime with your pets.
