About Wild River
Wild River is a space built for dogs to live freely and for their humans to slow down. Family-run since 2022, we’ve created a destination where good coffee, fresh air and happy pups all meet in one place.
Our site features four secure dog parks, each designed with different play styles in mind - from full-of-energy zoomers to pups who prefer their own space. Every visit is simple, safe and all about letting dogs be dogs.
At the heart of Wild River is our sense of community. We host gatherings, workshops, celebrations and seasonal events that bring people together and give dogs the chance to explore something new. Whether you’re here for a quick run, a long afternoon or a special occasion, there’s always something to enjoy.
And with cosy indoor seating, a roaring fire, and plenty of space to relax, Wild River is as much for humans as it is for the dogs who drag them here. This is a place made with intention, shaped by the people and pups who visit every week, a destination for dog lovers who want more than just a walk.
