CALLING all dog lovers! Margam Country Park, one of Wales’ most iconic heritage, and tourism destinations, has just launched ‘Margam Bark Play Park’ – a purpose-built enclosed dog agility area where dogs can run, jump, play and explore off-lead.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Margam’s historic landscape, this exciting new facility is designed for dogs of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Featuring a variety of agility obstacles including tunnels, jumps and weave poles, the enclosed agility area offers the perfect place for exercise and training in a fun and stimulating environment. Owners can relax in the sheltered seating area, while a rinse station ensures that muddy paws can be washed off after an action-packed session.

“Margam Bark Play Park is a brilliant addition that enhances the park’s reputation as one of South Wales’ top-tier, dog-friendly destinations.
“It offers a safe engaging space where dogs can exercise and socialise, making Margam an even better day out for visitors with four legged companions.”

Margam Country Park has long been a favourite destination for visitors exploring South Wales with their four-legged companions. With over 1,000 acres to explore and a range of woodlands, lakes, tranquil paths and challenging trails, it offers endless opportunities for scenic walks and outdoor adventures. From gentle nature trails to open green spaces, perfect for a game of fetch.
After a long walk, dogs can refuel with a pupaccino at the on-site café Charlotte’s Pantry, while owners relax in the Castle Visitor Courtyard. A convenient dog wash station near the car park ensures that muddy paws won’t be a problem for the journey home. Now, with the addition of Margam Bark Play Park, the park is cementing its reputation as one of Wales’ most dog-friendly attractions.
