Information about dogs, cycling, park management, venue hire and who to contact about Clissold Park.
Dogs
Dogs can be off lead in much of Clissold Park but must remain under their owners’ control.
In some areas dogs must be kept on leads, while designated gated areas are dog-free.
Dogs must be kept on leads on the upper café terrace and the grass slope in front of Clissold House. Dogs are not allowed inside Clissold House, the café or the toilets.
