Sheffield City Council: dog rules

Council-wide dog rules, beaches and named places

We couldn't find a council-wide dog order for this area. National rules and signs in parks still apply.

No council dog order

No dog order. Sheffield uses a voluntary code in parks: keep dogs in sight and under control, and pick up.
Short leads are asked for from March to August to protect nesting wildlife.
Professional walkers are asked to take no more than six dogs.

Code agreed September 2025, as reported by the Sheffield Star.

Assistance dogs: most council dog orders and beach bans exempt assistance dogs, such as guide and hearing dogs. Check the source if you are unsure.
