At the Glebe
Dogs should be kept under control at all times on the Glebe Recreation Ground. Dogs are allowed in the car park area on leads but on no account are dogs to be allowed on any of the pitches. Dog bins are provided.

On the Beach
Please keep your dog under control while at the beach to protect wildlife, health, and the enjoyment of other beach users.
Advisory Notice - It would be preferred if dogs were kept on leads when it is busy during the summer season on the bathing beach section (i.e. in front of beach huts).
