Barking and Dagenham Parks

Dog Walking

We love our loyal four-legged friends and welcome them (and of course their owners!) to explore all of the borough’s wonderful parks responsibly. You’ll find a range of beautiful walks through the most stunning scenery that Barking and Dagenham has to offer.

So that everyone can enjoy the parks to the full, we ask that dogs are kept on a lead in all the parking areas and at the Eastbrookend Discovery Centre, dogs are allowed inside the building but must be kept on a lead at all times.  There is also plenty of dog-friendly outdoor seating on the terrace.

To help us all keep the parks safe, please make sure your dog remains under control at all times.  Visitors are of all ages and the parks are also home to an abundance of wildlife, as well as regular horse riders. Please also ensure you always clean up after your dog and dispose of the bag in a bin.
