55Ooh this was so lovely ,my dogs were over the moon . They loved it there .
55My puppies, myself and my husband had so much fun. It was a lovely experience for them and I really appreciate the thought and effort put into the experience.
55My doggos absolutely loved it! Such a safe spot to just let them run their little hearts out. Will definitely be back!
55My brother’s dog, Tale, is visiting for the week. He loves the park too and especially the doggy parkour! 🐕😍
55Love the new colours really stunning
55My pups and I absolutely love this spot! As they are very high-energy dogs, Barks and Rec provides them a safe space to run around and have a jol as well as give me peace of mind as my pups are safe off-leash and their physical and mental needs are met. Well done Barks and Rec!
55Nice big yard for furbabies to run and explore with a couple of obstacle equipment to keep them entertained..at Randpark ridge Roodepoort...not so ideal for very small dog as it can escape through the palisade fence...my furbabies loved every minute
55Awesome
55Such a great spot to let your doggy run his heart out and sniff to his hearts content. This is both my doggie's happy place.
55Great offleash area for private use... shade and well thought out facilities. Our doggos had a great time. We will be back!
