Good Dogs

... have good owners

We love our dogs and our dogs love the Scrubs. Many people love the Scrubs, and not all of them love dogs as much as us! By being responsible dog owners, we can ensure that other people can enjoy the Scrubs, our dogs can enjoy the Scrubs, and we can enjoy good reputations as good dog owners!

In fact, there is a Public Space Protection Order in place on Wormwood Scrubs - so there is a legal responsibility on us to be good dog owners, and follow the law. You can see in the image, taken from the LBHF website (link below), that there are some areas where dogs are not allowed at all, and there are some areas where dogs must be kept on lead.

In all cases, no more than 4 dogs can be together - even if there are two people - you can not then have 8 dogs together! 4 dogs is the limit.

Dog free zones

The dog free zones are the:

Hammersmith BMX track
Linford Christie Stadium and associated sports pitches to the southeast of the park
2 children's play areas to the southwest of the Scrubs close to the Braybrook Street entrance and the one fenced play area by Linford Christie Stadium
