Our Burn

The burn forms a natural feature of Deeside Dog Park and is part of what makes the park such a special setting for dogs to explore.

As with any natural waterway, we must all be aware of the potential risks and take appropriate care when using the park.

Please take a few minutes to read the information below and read our Terms & Conditions in full, including the Water Safety section, before making your booking.

Keeping Everyone Safe

The burn is a natural watercourse and conditions can change. Water depth and flow may vary, particularly following periods of heavy rainfall, and the banks, rocks and waterbed may be slippery, uneven or unstable.

• Dogs may access the burn at their owner's discretion, but should be closely supervised.
• The burn is not visible from all areas of the park, so dogs and children must remain within the visual sight of the supervising adult at all times.
• Children must be supervised by a responsible adult throughout their visit.
• A maximum of 3 children may be supervised by one responsible adult.
• Adults and children must not enter the burn or watercourse at any time.
• Please take extra care around the bridge and vehicle crossing point.

Water Emergency

If a person or dog gets into difficulty in the water:

DO NOT ENTER THE WATER

CALL 999 – ASK FOR POLICE

Deeside Dog Park provides emergency water rescue equipment, including a lifebuoy and water rescue throwline.

Rescue equipment should only be used from a safe position. Never put yourself at risk by entering the water or attempting a rescue.

Please Remember

Our burn is a natural feature, and like any natural waterway, it deserves respect and care.

Please read our Terms & Conditions in full, including the Water Safety section, before booking your visit.
