Bosty Fields — Attraction in Walsall

We first came to Bosty Fields in April 2023. On our first day there we met 1 of the owners and was shown into the field and told basically to have fun and take lots of pics. From April 2023 to April 2024 that is what we did. We never missed a week. I understand that this year (2024) we have had a very wet spring which has impacted a few venues from their maintaining endeavours. The grass started to get longer and muddier and the pathways became covered in some areas by weeds to the point it looks like no pathway anymore. Things that were fun were no longer fun, like throwing the ball as that would just get lost in long grass never to be found, plus after my dog panicked and thought we were leaving him due to how long the grass was he as never been the same and just runs back to the car everytime we took him there. And still runs back to the car, even at a different place, he is that scared of being left because he couldn't see us as the grass was that long. Also poop collecting was more difficult as instead of picking up poop, you pick up more grass than poop now. And just lots of plants that can harm dogs, nettles, buttercups. Mowing was attempted on numerous occasions to only be met with broken down mowers or other issues. We contacted the owner but our concerns were not met with wanting to help fix or change the issues, we were just told that the fields would remain the same for quite a while and apparently every venue is affected. (Not true, as we did take our dog to another field that was cut short). To update as of now 16th September 2024, we have been banned from the website and Facebook groups. (Just for having an opinion). Just very disappointed in how we were treated from someone who apparently cares for dogs

Do not include my name when leaving your response. You have no right to include that. No derogatory comments were left at all on Facebook. Most were snide remarks to the long grass and poop collecting since that is all you post about these days. The grass being the bane of your life and please collect your poop, over and over again. Also I don't care about other users. I cared about my dog who was already a nervous dog and you have made worse. So I stand by the fact you never and still don't care for animals at all. Bosty Fields was lovely but as sadly been ruined. Included pics on how long and unkempt the grass and...

We have used Bosty fields several times using the fields as well as the beautiful wooded areas. I am an XL Bully owner and had it not be for Bosty my boy would never be able to know how it feels to run free without a lead or a horrible muzzle and for that this place is invaluable and essential to us. The fields are always clean when we've visited even though I'm aware that many lazy owners don't clean up after their dogs but it just goes to show how hard sara & the team work to keep this place the best it can be. There's always water available, as well as shelter for rainy cold days. Even treats & toys they literally think of everything here. First thing my boy does is paw at the toy box to ask for a ball 😂 The booking system is really simple to use. never any issues with access. If I could afford to bring him every day I really would!!

Thank you very much to Sara, Dave & Co for creating such an amazing & safe space for our dogs to just be dogs. I'm sure you will keep up the amazing work especially now in Daves memory who I'm sure would be so proud of what he has helped achieve for our furry...

To say I’m disappointed and annoyed would be an understatement. After 3 years of booking and using the fields for our dogs, we today invited our friends along. Admittedly we had booked for 6 dogs and that meant we had 5 vehicles with us. We did not know that we were only allowed two vehicles, I was apologetic to Sara on the phone to which her response was rude, unfriendly, and not what you would expect to an apologetic loyal customer. To issue a ban over a mistake which we apologised for an acknowledged was petty, rude and unprofessional.

This in addition to the old man and woman who decided it was appropriate to photograph us when we had children with us and also wait u til the vehicle with two young girls and children were in to mouth off and use horrible language was even more disgusting than the approach from Sara on the phone.

Just a heads up that Bosty are more tolerant to people who abuse other field users than their customers who admittedly had more vehicles than permitted.

Thanks for the ban and use of photography none of...
