Our story

The family behind the field.

Ballybark grew out of our own farm and our own dogs, one of whom never settled at a busy park. We fenced off a quiet corner so she could finally run, relax and just be a dog, and it turned out plenty of other owners were looking for exactly that.

Today the same family looks after every gate, every blade of grass and every booking, so your visit stays as calm and cared for as we would want for our own.

What owners are saying.

A few words from the families who book the field for their dogs.

Our rescue cannot cope with other dogs, so having the whole place to ourselves has been life-changing. He finally gets to run.

A Aoife M.with Finn the collie

Booking took thirty seconds and the gate code was in my inbox before I had left the house. Could not be easier.

Clean, secure and completely private. We come every week now and the dogs go home happy and worn out in the best way.
