The Best Dog Walks Around Willesden and Harlesden
As we edge closer to Summer, lighter evenings present the possibility of longer evening strolls and the potential for trying out new dog-walking routes.
So what are our favourite dog walks around Willesden and Harlesden? This blog discusses.
Roundwood Park
Up first we of course have Roundwood Park. Located just a stone's throw away from the clinic, on Harlesden Road (NW10 3SH), Roundwood Park offers a fun day out for all. The park includes a cafe (Roundwood Lodge Cafe), toilets, an aviary, and a playground. Whilst, dogs are allowed to run off the lead around the majority of the park, some areas (including the entrance and flower garden areas) enforce dog control.
The park also has numerous sporting activities, including a bowling green, and a multi-use games area.
The park is open from 5am-10:30pm daily.
King Edward VII Park
Another popular dog-walking destination near us is King Edward VII Park.
The park includes an enclosed children's play area, as well as a football and rugby pitch, a multi-use games area, and an open grassy area for dogs to run around.
