Dogs
Responsible Dogs in parks are welcome in the majority of Southwark's parks, but not inside a children's play area or sports pitches. Please be aware that dog fouling is illegal and if you do not clean up after your dog you may be fined. View our Dog Bye-laws (PDF, 56kb) document for a list of dog free areas.
There's a Dog Control Order in place at One Tree Hill where dog walkers must not have more than four dogs with them.
