New dog park to open near Musselburgh with stunning views of Arthur's Seat
A new dog adventure park with panoramic views towards Arthur’s Seat is preparing to open near Musselburgh.
The park opening marks the tenth location for one of Scotland’s fastest-growing canine leisure brands Unleash the Dogs.
Set just off the A1 near Musselburgh, the brand-new two-acre dog park - known as Big Arthur’s Field - will be the operator’s second to open in the capital following the successful launch of the West Edinburgh location last year.
Opening on Saturday, April 11, final touches are being added in the coming days and bookings are expected to ramp up quickly.
To celebrate the opening, visiting dogs will be treated to complimentary puppuccinos during launch weekend.
Owners will also be treated to hot drinks and snacks.
Craig Gammage, founder of Unleash The Dogs, said: “Opening our tenth park is a huge moment for us.
“When we started just over three years ago, the goal was simple, to create the very best places in Scotland for dogs to run free safely.
“To reach ten sites is a huge milestone for us and we’re really excited for the future.
“This site is something we’re really proud of. The setting is incredible.
“You’ve got that iconic Arthur’s Seat backdrop, but you’re only minutes from the city. It gives you that rural escape without the long drive.”
Big Arthur’s Field is the largest park in the company’s portfolio to date.
It will feature a wide range of purpose-built obstacles and enrichment features suitable for dogs of all sizes and energy levels.
Each session is privately booked online, guaranteeing exclusive access for up to eight dogs at a time.
The expansion builds on the success of the brand’s first capital site, which was voted number one in its region at the British Dog Field of the Year awards within just four weeks of opening.
Craig added: “Winning that award so soon after first launching in Edinburgh meant a lot. It showed that owners here recognise quality and appreciate the level of care we put into every site.
“There’s been a real buzz around this particular site too. People have been driving past, messaging us, asking when they can book. It’s brilliant to see that excitement.
“Ultimately, if dogs leave tired and happy and owners leave saying it was the best hour of their week, then we’ve done our job.”
