A new premium dog park is to open on the western edge of the city, offering a semi rural escape just minutes from the city centre.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Located near the Highland Showground just off the A8 at Gogarburn, the new dog park will be the latest venture by operator Unleash The Dogs<\/a>, marking its first foray into the capital.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Opening on Saturday 5 July, final touches were being added this week and bookings are expected to ramp up quickly.<\/p>\n

The park forms the first phase of a two-site expansion into Edinburgh, with a second destination set to open near Fort Kinnaird later this summer.<\/p>\n

Hailing from a farming background, Craig and his partner Lauren of the company want to create the very best places for dogs to visit in Scotland, with seven Unleash The Dogs parks already established in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

The parks have equipment and obstacles for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and the enclosed fields feature doggy friendly sensory gardens, as well as shelters for owners to socialise and escape the Scottish elements.<\/p>\n

Craig, 34, said: \u201cThis is a huge step for us. 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

\u201cThe West Edinburgh field is only about a 15-minute drive from the city centre, yet it is a proper rural escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create something truly special here, not just another enclosed space but a destination for dogs and their owners.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Craig added: \u201cOur parks are run like five-star resorts. We have regular staff visits, bespoke features, and we never cut corners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about keeping standards sky high and creating places that owners are proud to bring their dogs to.<\/p>\n

\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

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

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
