Edinburgh has a completely different layout to Glasgow, so we\u2019ve worked hard to find a spot that balances that rural escapism our parks are known for, while staying easily accessible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe West Edinburgh field is only about a 15-minute drive from the city centre, yet it is a proper rural escape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to create something truly special here, not just another enclosed space but a destination for dogs and their owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The site is part of a wider rollout from the much-loved brand, which has built a loyal following across Glasgow thanks to its commitment to providing top-tier dog exercise spaces. Each site is designed to Unleash The Dogs\u2019 exacting standards, offering a secure, safe and stimulating environment<\/p>\n<p>Owners and professional dog-walkers can book their slot for up to eight dogs at a time online, guaranteeing complete private access to the site.<\/p>\n<p>The sites also benefit from regular staffing to ensure the grounds are immaculately maintained, ensuring a safe and clean experience for all visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Craig added: \u201cOur parks are run like five-star resorts. We have regular staff visits, bespoke features, and we never cut corners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about keeping standards sky high and creating places that owners are proud to bring their dogs to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve developed a strong model in Glasgow, and the response there has been phenomenal. Edinburgh deserves the same standard \u2013 and we\u2019re here to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With its premium finish and proximity to the city, the new park is set to become a favourite for dog lovers across the capital.<\/p>\n<p>With the next Edinburgh site in the East already in the works, Unleash The Dogs looks set to make its mark on both ends of the city.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unleashthedogs.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.unleashthedogs.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Furry-friend-enjoying-the-new-Gogarburn-field-yXogYlB0Cfx7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-604233\"  \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/07\/new-dog-park-opens-in-edinburgh\/?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1751656271_485_pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/07\/new-dog-park-opens-in-edinburgh\/?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1751656271_986_print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"m-a-box-avatar-url\" href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/author\/a-reporter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1751656272_489_5e70bf7fb6fd770d9dab6662433d2b6c9104d4cd2469b9d2c0bf72c3f98b453b\"  class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" itemprop=\"image\"\/><\/a>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new premium dog park is to open on the western edge of the city, offering a semi&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4154,4155,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-238166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-edinburgh-local-news","11":"tag-edinburgh-news","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114796552966165784","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
