Hurst Park and the adjacent Thames Path in Surrey are extremely popular for dog walking. The extensive open grassy areas of Hurst Park offer excellent space for off-lead running, but ensure dogs are under control, especially as the park is popular with families and for sports. On the Thames Path itself, it's advisable to keep dogs on leads or under very close control due to cyclists and other walkers. Be cautious with dogs near the River Thames (strong currents). Please clean up after your dog; bins are usually provided. This Surrey location is a dog walker's haven.
