The following is important information and serves as our terms and conditions for hiring and using our fields.  ​ During winter months, our fields may become muddy. We advise that you bring wellies and suitable clothing, but we urge caution to be taken on as some areas may be slippery during periods of extreme rainfall.  Your pet(s) must be kept in the field relevant to your booking. This excludes 'Field One', where field users can access the River Calder via the gate at the far end of the field.  THE BARK PARK, cannot be held accountable for any injuries or accidents that may occur to any persons or animals whilst on-site and using our park and facilities. Although we have taken great care in regards to health and safety to make our park as safe as possible for both persons and animals, it is the sole responsibility of the field user to take the necessary precautions and reasonable care for themselves and their dog(s) whilst using our park. We strongly urge all users to use a common-sense approach when using the river, and to consider the water levels and overall safety for yourselves and your dog(s) at all times. Access to the River Calder is granted at the customer's own risk. THE BARK PARK cannot accept any responsibility for any incidents in relation to the field users accessing the River Calder. At no other time can the number of dogs relevant to your booking exceed the limit stated. Any persons found to have knowingly exceeded the limit of dogs relevant to their booking will be asked to leave their park, and / or may be banned from making future bookings. Other persons may accompany and share your exclusive field hire session, however the dog limit must NEVER exceed the limit stated on your booking.  Dog waste MUST be picked up at all times. There are multiple dog waste bins around the park for the disposal of such waste. Our park is inspected on a regular basis, and at any time. Any persons found to have not collected any/all dog waste may be banned from making any future bookings.  Please ensure you have received your booking confirmation email before making your visit. If you have not received the email, please check your junk email folder, or contact us. All field hire users MUST leave their booked field upon the end of their booked session. There is a 5-minute buffer time between sessions, allowing reasonable time for users to leave their booked field in time for the next user.  On rare occasions, staff members of THE BARK PARK may need to access a particular area of the park for particular reasons. Although our staff intend to keep any disturbances and distractions to a minimal, we encourage all field users to be aware that sometimes staff members may be present on-site.  Our secure car park MUST be locked and secured at all times. THE BARK PARK, however, cannot accept any responsibility for any damage/theft/loss/etc, of their vehicle or its contents whilst in our secure car park. ​ Any instances where any parts of THE BARK PARK have found to be damaged (such as the ground, fencing, equipment, etc) following a field hire session, THE BARK PARK, depending on the severity, may seek to recover the costs for the repair of such damages from the customer.   Anything found to be damaged, broken or potentially hazardous MUST be reported to THE BARK PARK at the first instance.  ALL agility equipment is for DOG USE ONLY. No children are allowed to use or play on any of the dog equipment for health and safety reasons.  Water is available on-site for your dog to drink, however, it must be noted that our site does not have a connection to a mains water supply.  Some areas of THE BARK PARK do have inspection covers on the fields. These are managed by United Utilities. On a very rare occasion, United Utilities may need to access these covers for routine inspections, or for in case of emergencies.
