Wrexham has three private-hire secure dog fields we could confirm on the operators’ own websites, at Gresford, Overton-on-Dee and Penycae. Only one publishes its prices, so we’ve said where a figure comes from and where we couldn’t confirm it. Ask about reactive dogs and the number of dogs before you book.
Fields we could check
Ryecroft Meadow (Caia Farm, Old Wrexham Road, Gresford, LL12 8UA) has three named fields, Hillside, Agility and Adventure, with a 6ft fence, according to its site. Hire is private and exclusive, booked online, and a base booking covers three dogs with an extra fee for more (the amount isn’t stated). Its site markets the fields as suitable for reactive or nervous dogs, and walkers and trainers must show public liability insurance. The booking page shows no prices, and listing sites quote from £7.50 for 30 minutes, which we’d treat as a guide only.
Gwalia Fields (Gwalia Farm, near Overton-on-Dee, LL13 0LG, a postcode from a listing site) is the best documented. Its site gives £5.40 for 25 minutes or £8.40 for 55 minutes for one to three dogs, with £1 extra for four to six dogs, a 6ft dog fence and 2.5 acres, booked through Booksy. Its reactive-dog policy isn’t stated.
Plas Issa Farm Dog Fields at Penycae (near Wrexham, LL14 1TT) has an online booking widget and describes its fields as enclosed. Local press reported three fields on a farm of over 52 acres, with one-hour slots. We couldn’t confirm the price, fence height or size, so phone before you travel. Plas Issa also runs a campsite, which is a separate use.
Leads and gaps
Local press reported retrospective planning applications for Ryecroft Meadow (2022) and Plas Issa (2024), and we couldn’t find the outcomes, so it’s worth asking each operator. Two more fields appear only as planning stories: Rhos Berse near Coedpoeth (about four acres, 2022) and a paddock at the former Lavister golf course near Rossett, approved in September 2024. We found no operator or evidence that either has opened. We found nothing for Chirk, Ruabon, Holt, Brymbo or Llay, and we didn’t check Facebook, so this may undercount.
A fenced field is a lovely way to let an anxious or reactive dog run, and a calming bite may help take the edge off the journey. If your dog’s worries go beyond that, speak to your vet or a qualified trainer. For open-access routes, see our dog walks in Wrexham, and our Wrexham dog services hub.

Google Maps also lists The Tail Trail (4.9 from 218 reviews) and Cheshire View Dog Park (4.6 from 56). Both are well reviewed, but we couldn’t confirm an operator website or fencing details for either, so we haven’t added them. Check each directly before you rely on it.
A field booking can sit alongside a regular walker or a stop for a bite afterwards, so see our dog walkers in Wrexham and our dog-friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants in Wrexham.
