Odin Valley Dog Park (East Boldon)

Location: Green Lane, East Boldon, Tyne & Wear NE36 0BT – tucked away down a bumpy farm track (be prepared to reverse for oncoming cars!).

Contact: 07799 227418 or email info@odinvalley.com.

Website: https://www.odinvalley.com

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OdinValley

Pricing: From £7 for a 50-minute session (small field) up to £11.50 for 50 minutes in the larger fields. Prices cover private use (you aren’t sharing with anyone outside your group).

Facilities: Odin Valley boasts two secure fields plus a mini agility arena. The Pathfinder Park (~1 acre) and Explorer Park (~1+ acre) are enclosed by 6 ft deer fencing and packed with quirky obstacles – think sand pits, log jumps, maze, tyre run, ramps, and other fun agility equipment.

There’s also “OV Quest” Agility Arena (40×15 m, max 2 dogs) for focused training. Both main fields allow up to 4 dogs at a time. Parking is along the track by the field.

A keypad entry system is used: you book online, get a code via email the day before, and punch it in to access the gate.

Booking: Online registration and booking are required via the Odin Valley website. Once booked, you’ll receive an access code for the gate. Open 7 days a week, roughly 8am–7pm (daylight hours, with seasonal adjustments). The system automatically spaces bookings with a 10-minute buffer so you won’t bump into the next customer – a relief for anxious dogs (and humans).

Dog on the Tyne (Rowlands Gill)

Sign at the entrance of Dog on the Tyne, a secure dog exercise paddock in Rowlands Gill.

Location: Low Spen Paddocks, Spen Lane, High Spen, Rowlands Gill, Gateshead NE39 2BX (west of Newcastle, near Rowlands Gill). It’s easy to find – look for the Dog on the Tyne sign on the gate, just past the pet shop on Spen Lane.

Contact: 07734 063623 for calls.

Website: dogonthetyne.com – which has the full booking system. (There’s a pet supply shop on-site too, specialising in raw and natural dog food – handy for post-walk treat shopping!)

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dogonthetyne

Pricing: £6 for 30 minutes or £10 for 1 hour. This covers one dog; additional dogs are just £1 each. One of the best-value fields in the region – perfect for regular visits.

Facilities: Two fenced pens are available: Pen 1 (~⅓ acre) and Pen 2 (1 acre). Both have 6 ft-high secure stock fencing around the perimeter. The larger pen features some agility equipment (ramps, etc.) and open space for a good run, while the smaller one is great for practice and solo zoomies. Each pen has a bench and a water bucket; there’s also a tap if you forget your water.

On-site parking is available right outside the paddocks.

Booking & Access: Book a slot online via their website – you’ll receive a code for a combination lock on the gate via email (the paddocks are self-entry with a code or sometimes left unlocked if staff are around). Drive up, park by the field, and let yourself in at your allotted time. The owners automatically space out bookings to avoid overlap, so please arrive and leave promptly to ensure a smooth handover. Free on-site parking and a safe two-gate entry system mean you can unload your dogs securely. Poo bags are provided – just remember to use them! 🐶💩

St James’ Bark Secure Field (Newcastle, Callerton)

Location: Callerton Village, Newcastle upon Tyne (off Stamfordham Road, near the A69). It’s located on private land – just pop “St James’ Bark Private Field” into Google Maps to navigate right to the gate.

Contact: For field hire, call Mick on 07707 543775. Email stjamesbark@outlook.com.

Website: stjamesbark.co.uk with online booking. (Note: St James’ Bark also offers dog grooming and “dog pawty” packages – the field can even host doggy birthday parties!)

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StJamesBark/

Pricing: £15 per hour for exclusive use of the secure field. The rate covers the whole field (not per dog), and the hour is all yours.

Facilities: The field is part of a 17-acre farm owned by a dog daycare, with a section fenced off as the secure hire area. The play area is roughly 1 acre, enclosed by 6 ft mesh fencing (note: it’s temporary Heras-style panels – sturdy but very large or strong dogs should be supervised accordingly). Inside, they’ve added several enrichment features to spice up your walk: think agility equipment, sand pits, and climbing structures for your dog to explore. It’s like a mini doggy adventure playground! Parking is available by the field gate (room for ~3 cars). There are no adjacent hire slots (the field is single-use and bookings are spaced out), so it’s quiet and ideal for reactive dogs.

Booking & Access: The field is used by St James’ Bark’s daycare dogs on weekdays, so public hire is by appointment during gaps (typically evenings or weekends). Book via their website or phone – they’ll confirm a slot and arrange access. Usually, you’ll be given a padlock code or met by a staff member. Opening hours for hire are generally Mon–Sat 9am–6pm (closed Sundays), but this may vary – check with Mick when booking. As always, close the gate securely and enjoy your private playtime!

Top Dog “Safe & Secure” Field (Seaton Delaval)

Location: Seaton Delaval, NE25 0DF – near Seghill/Seaton Delaval, just north of the Tyne & Wear border. It’s part of a local kennels/daycare business (Topdog Safe & Secure Exercise is on the same site as “Out for a Ball” Doggy Daycare in this area). The field is about a 5-minute drive from Seaton Delaval Hall (National Trust).

Contact: 07946 295243 (phone) or reach out via their Facebook page Topdog Safe & Secure Exercise. They don’t have a standalone website, but the Facebook page is active with updates and you can message to book: https://www.facebook.com/TOPDOGSAFESECUREEXERCISE

Pricing: Sessions start around £15 for an hour’s hire (up to 4 dogs) – this seems to be the going rate mentioned by regulars. Additional dogs or longer sessions may cost a bit more (for example, some users note “best £15 spent” for a session here). It’s best to confirm current prices when booking, as they may have package deals for professionals (they allow business use by dog walkers too).

Facilities: Large 1.8-acre field (almost 2 acres) fully enclosed by 6 ft+ fencing. The fencing is extra-high and secure, with mesh to prevent any great escape artists slipping through. Uniquely, this site has multiple adjoining runs – meaning the big field can be split. If only one group is booked, you’ll likely get the whole area; at busy times they can divide it. Keep in mind dogs can see/sniff each other through the fence if two groups are using separate runs, as there’s no solid barrier between runs. Secure in-field parking is available – you literally drive into a hard-standing car park inside the fenced area, so you can unload pups safely off-road. Fresh water is provided on-site, and the field is mostly a flat grass paddock with some natural features (logs etc.). It’s great for a good run or a game of fetch; bring your own toys or use theirs.

Booking: Advance booking by phone or Facebook is required. They operate seven days a week, generally daylight hours. When you arrive, you’ll be met by staff or given instructions to access the field (since it’s part of a business with staff on-site, they often open the gate for you). Standard sessions are around 50 minutes with a 10-minute changeover buffer – so arrive on time and leave promptly to avoid overlap. Business users (dog walkers, trainers) can also hire the field, which is handy if you want a regular slot. Top Dog’s team is friendly and may offer loyalty discounts for frequent users – it never hurts to ask!

Westmoor Walkies Paddocks (West Moor, Newcastle)

Location: West Moor, Newcastle upon Tyne NE12 7NS – at Firtree Farm Riding School in the Forest Hall/West Moor area. It’s easily reached from the A189; look for signs for the riding school and “Westmoor Walkies” at the farm entrance.

Contact: 07974 584602 (or 07380 210684). Email: firtreefarmridingschool@yahoo.co.uk. They have a Facebook page (Westmoor Walkies, Forest Hall) and use an online booking site.

Pricing: £6 per 30 minutes (minimum booking) or £12 for a full hour. This covers up to 4 dogs – they currently limit bookings to 4 dogs max per session. It’s very affordable, so it’s popular locally (booking a day or two ahead is wise, especially on weekends).

Facilities: There are two fully enclosed paddocks available, each roughly 1.5–2 acres in size. The fencing is around 4 ft high (with fine rabbit-netting along the bottom) – enough for most dogs, though a very determined leaper might clear it, so assess your dog’s hopping skills. Each paddock is grassed and has some rustic seating (benches) and waste bins. One paddock sometimes features basic agility bits (jumps or weave poles when available), and they’ve recently opened a separate Agility Arena for supervised training sessions. Parking is on-site: you can park right outside the field gate on the farm driveway, so you won’t be lugging leads and water too far. No lighting, so daylight visits only. No water tap mentioned, so bring your own water for thirsty pups (the riding school might help in a pinch).

Booking & Access: Online booking is offered via a SimplyBook system – check the Westmoor Walkies Facebook page or contact them for the link. You’ll select Paddock 1 or 2 and an available time slot. There’s no gap between bookings, so it’s essential to leave on time. Aim to arrive at your exact time (not too early) and wait in your car if the previous user is still loading up, to avoid any nose-to-nose encounters at the gate. The gate is secured with a simple latch (no code needed); just ensure you close (and latch) the gate once inside, and again when you leave. Westmoor Walkies is run in conjunction with the stables, so if you bump into a friendly horse – well, that’s just part of the charm! 🐴🐕

Unleashed Secure Dog Park (Throckley)

Location: 51 Coach Road, Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne NE15 9JW. Situated on the outskirts of Throckley, west of Newcastle, near Throckley Hall. The entrance is via a farm gate off Coach Road (keep an eye out for the Unleashed sign).

Contact: 07399 409864 (phone). Facebook: Unleashed Throckley – they update availability there. Booking is often done by messaging the Facebook page directly. They also have an online booking app (Ovatu) – see their Facebook for the link.

Pricing: They have not published a fixed price list on public pages, but users report it’s roughly £10–£12 per 45–60 minutes for sole use. (One local comment mentions £12 for a 45-minute session as a standard rate.). It may depend on session length or number of dogs, so do check when booking. Expect similar pricing to other fields – and rest assured it’s private hire only (no sharing with strangers).

Facilities: This is a single large field about 1 to 1.5 acres in size, fully enclosed by a 4 ft fence plus natural hedgerow. The double-gated entry creates a secure vestibule so dogs can’t slip out when you arrive. Inside the field you’ll find an agility course with a few obstacles (reports mention some jumps and ramps) and lots of open grass for running. There are also logs and natural features for your dog to sniff and climb. Parking is right by the field (off-road on the grass verge or a small gravel patch). The owners recently expanded to two fields on-site, each with its own parking area, to offer more availability. Each field has a max capacity (usually up to 5 dogs per slot for safety). There’s no lighting or shelter, so pack a raincoat and towel if the weather’s iffy.

Booking & Access: Message the Unleashed Throckley Facebook page to book a slot. They often post weekly schedules of available times – you comment or message to claim a spot. Once booked, you’ll usually pre-pay via bank transfer or PayPal, and they’ll send you instructions and an access code for the padlock shortly before your session. When you arrive, you enter the code at the gate and drive into the secure parking area inside. Please wait for the previous user to vacate before unlocking and entering (typical courtesy at all these fields) to keep dogs separated. Unleashed is open mostly by appointment, typically daylight hours (they may close in the evenings or very early mornings especially in winter). Keep an eye on their Facebook for any weather-related closures (e.g. if it gets too muddy). The owners are very responsive and passionate about providing a safe space – they even have CCTV monitoring for security, so you and your pup can enjoy peace of mind.

Talk Dog Field (Seghill)

Location: Seghill (north of Newcastle, near Seaton Delaval). This field is run by TalkDog Newcastle, a local dog walking/daycare company. The exact field is on farmland by Seghill – coordinates provided on booking. (Seghill is just beyond the official Tyne & Wear boundary into Northumberland, but it serves the North Tyneside/Newcastle area.)

Contact: 07946 682226 or talkdog.ncl@gmail.com. You can also contact them via their website (talk-dog.co.uk) or Facebook page TalkDog Newcastle. The process is to inquire for a slot, then they’ll direct you to fill in a field hire registration form online.

Pricing: £15 per hour for private field hire. This includes up to a certain number of dogs (typically 4-5; if you have a larger group, just ask – they are accommodating). Payment is usually taken via bank transfer or online once your slot is confirmed.

Facilities: A 2-acre grassy paddock surrounded by 5 ft-high fencing. The fencing is sturdy and should contain all but the most athletic leapers (if your greyhound is part kangaroo, keep an eye out!). The field is mostly open grassland bordered by trees. It’s a simple setup: plenty of space to run, sniff, and play. They sometimes place a few agility bits (like tunnels or jumps) but this can vary. There is on-site parking just outside the gate on a driveway. No in-field parking, but you park only a few steps from the entrance. No toilets or running water on-site, so come prepared. However, TalkDog might provide water buckets on request, since they use the field for their own daycare dogs too.

Booking & Access: Pre-booking is essential. Because this field doubles as exercise space for their daycare, availability can be limited to specific times (often evenings or weekends when not in use by the business). Contact them to request a time; once agreed, you’ll fill out a quick registration form accepting their terms. They’ll then give you the details for entry (usually a code or they’ll meet you to unlock). Sessions are typically 1 hour and they space them out so there’s no customer overlap. Standard rules apply: wait for any previous users to depart before entering, and ensure you lock up after. The TalkDog team is very friendly – as their name suggests, they love to talk dog, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Your pup is guaranteed to “have a ball” (their motto!) in this safe environment.

Wrapping up: All these fields operate on a simple principle – you get exclusive access for your booking. Always arrive and leave on time, secure all gates, and of course pick up after your pooch (every field has bins – nobody likes a landmine 💩). It’s wise to bring water, poop bags, and your dog’s favourite toy. Many of these venues have active Facebook pages where they post updates, so follow them for any news (or last-minute slots becoming free).

Using an enclosed dog walking field can be a real game-changer for training and giving your dog freedom safely. Whether you’re working on recall, have a nervous Nellie who needs privacy, or just want a private dog park for a family play session, Tyne and Wear’s selection has you covered. Each field above offers something unique – try a few and see which your dog likes best. You might end up with a weekly field-hire routine and a much happier hound. Enjoy your adventures in these canine playgrounds, and give your four-legged friend an extra run on our behalf! 🐕🎾
