Exciting new experience for dogs and their owners launches in Little Downham


Dog owners in the Ely and the surrounding area can now take their four-legged friends to an exciting new facility which has recently opened in Little Downham. 

Ely Dog Field offers a large, fully enclosed space for private use where dogs can explore and exercise safely. The field also features play equipment specially designed to suit dogs of all sizes, including weave poles, seesaws, jumps, balance beams, a sandpit, plus much more. This makes a fun alternative to the usual daily dog walk for everyone from the smallest of pups to the most adventurous of hounds! 

Meanwhile, owners can enjoy convenient on-site enclosed parking, peaceful surroundings and stunning Cathedral views. When the sun is shining, the outdoor seating is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and relax. An undercover shelter and small woodland is also provided for the colder months allowing the space to be enjoyed all year round. Time slots to book the field are available 7 days a week with bookings now open from 28th September onwards. Pre-booking is essential and a quick and easy online booking system is in place allowing customers to pick a time to suit them. 

Opening day proceeds on the 28th September are being donated to Block Fen Animal Centre – RSPCA. Ely Dog Field is also going to provide some free sessions to the centre over the year to help support them in the amazing rehoming work they do.

Ely Dog Field owner Becky said “As a dog lover myself, it has been a long-term dream of mine to share this amazing space with the local community and to see their dogs enjoy the benefits of a safe space to exercise and have fun. I also wanted to make it a place where dog owners feel relaxed and families and friends can meet and exercise their dogs together, whilst enjoying the wonderful views.”

During the recent preview weekend, a group of lucky dog owners brought their dogs along to try out the facilities. Jay Chapman from Chatteris and his puppy Rocky were among the first to visit. Jay said “Rocky has had a brilliant time at the field today. He’s a young puppy and we are still training him to be off lead in public so this is the perfect opportunity for him to run free, safely and away from any other dogs. The children have also really enjoyed encouraging him to try out the equipment, so everyone has had plenty of fresh air and exercise!”
