Exclusion of dogs from defined children’s play areas, Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) and tennis courts
In 2017 the council launched its Play Strategy with a key priority being that we recognise the role of outdoor play for health and wellbeing and that we make public spaces as child friendly as possible. Dogs are currently excluded from any children’s play area that contains children’s play equipment such as slides, swings, climbing frames and similar apparatus and that is enclosed on all sides by fences, gates, walls or other structures that mark the boundary of the play area.
Dogs are also excluded from any partially or fully enclosed Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and from tennis courts
The clear boundaries of these areas make it easy for people to identify the extent of the area where dogs are not allowed.
There is an exemption to any exclusion requirement for registered assistance dogs.
