This is the evidence for off-lead rules at Gunnersbury Park. It was read from visitgunnersbury.org on 19 July 2026.Gunnersbury Park requires dogs to be under control rather than on lead across the estate.
On-lead areas: Dogs are excluded from the museum and playgrounds. Dogs are allowed on lead in the cafe outside seating area only. The park follows the Brentford dog control order limiting one person to a maximum of four dogs.
A Public Spaces Protection Order applies here. Hounslow's Responsible Dog Ownership PSPO started 30 September 2025, is enforced from 1 March 2026 and ends 29 September 2028, with a four-dog limit and lead-on-request borough-wide. The Ealing-side position is not verified.
