hours extended again
dusk session now at 9pm from sunday 22nd June-Thursday 17th July
KEEPING COOL!
We have extended the park hours again for cooler evenings so the 8pm session is now a full 50minutes and our Dusk session is 9pm-9.30pm. Great for cooler walks as the weather heats up and you can enjoy the park as the sun sets!
As the weather is set to soar this week, here are some top tips on keeping cool when up the park!
Take a cover for the car, silver sheets are amazing, but a pale bedsheet will also make a difference. While you are away from the car open the windows and cover the car from front to back with a sheet. Using a window screen reflector can also help keep the car cooler. Once you lock the Park gate you are secure and others cannot get in! Doing this means when you get back to the car you can get straight in without having to wait for the heat to escape and the aircon to start being effective! This means you can enjoy more time at the park exploring, rather than getting back to the car early to help it cool before getting in. Use cotton sheets for your dog to lie on in the back of the car, these are much cooler than fluffy beds, blankets or vet bed.
Use the cooling station and encourage your dog to stand, sit or lie in the cool water. Bring plenty of fresh water with you for your dogs to drink too, don't forget the bowl!
Avoid the hottest part of the day and in the afternoons walk on the left hand side using the shade from the trees. If you want to change a session due to heat, providing we have some notice and while the weather is in excess of 25 degrees C we will do our best to accommodate you, just message the emergency number!
If your dog is particularly bad at taking things slower in the heat, think about using a longline and maybe encourage searching for treats, and avoid throwing a toy! Sometimes we have to be the grown ups to help keep them safe!
cooling station is a hit!
We have started the regular mowing in the park now to help you spot those poos! The cooling station is a firm favourite with many of your dogs now! Please feel free to top up the splash tray, just make sure to turn the tap off! Please note this is collected rainwater or water from our spring fed pond so perfect for splashing in to cool down, but please don't drink this water yourselves, it is not mains tap water!

We are Sarah & James and are part of a farming family based on the West Northants/Oxfordshire border. Dogs have been and still are a huge part of our life and over the years we have had all sorts of shapes, sizes and temperaments! With an amazing understanding of dogs and their behaviour we have created a safe space that is enjoyable, firstly for dogs, but also for their people! We want Warren Park to be a place for making amazing memories with your furry friends with the peace of mind that comes with a secure space! We also as farmers care immensely about our land and the environment around us. We hope that you enjoy the beautiful trees, flower rich margins and natural elements that make up this special space. We aim to help support our native birds and insects with our planting, all while providing a great area to explore.
ABOUT us
Warren park
Warren Park is a gorgeous, approximately 6 acre, corner of the countryside. It is fully fenced to 6ft in height with Clipex boar and dog netting. You drive directly into the Park through our secure gate (you must close it behind you) using the padlock code which is sent by email 2 hours before your booking. We have a spacious car park area incorporated into our aptly named "poo paddock". This is the perfect space for your dogs to get out stretch their legs and wait for you to get "organised". We encourage you to give your dogs a few minutes here on our grass paddock to relieve themselves before entering the larger area of the park! This will make picking up after your dogs a touch easier due to the smaller space! The fencing here inside the park is standard stock netting height. All external fences are 6ft. You will find poo bag dispensers and poo bins around the site. Please use them, we unfortunately do not have a magical poo fairy at Warren Park! The poo bins are for DOG POO ONLY. Do not dispose of your own general waste and rubbish in these bins, please take all rubbish home with you and protect our gorgeous countryside and wildlife.
At the end of the poo paddock you will find the service gate by which you can enter the main area of Warren Park! Please make sure you loop it shut behind you. Here you are free to adventure and explore! Visit Murray's Mound, our fabulous log, boulder corner and the amazing collection of specimen trees we have planted! There is plenty of space for playing and training your dogs, or to allow them time to enjoy the abundant scents and smells that can be found in our Park. We encourage you to enjoy a wander together, reconnecting and soaking up the tranquillity of this beautiful corner of our farm!
