Assistance Dogs

Assistance Dogs are allowed on Surrey Sports Park Property as they are a vital assistant for the owner and their daily needs. The Sports Park however requests the following actions from the owner to ensure guidelines are being followed and the working dog can be identified for the benefit of public and staff.

The only area of the building that an assistance or guide dog would be restricted is poolside. This is for hygiene reasons and because the dog cannot go in the pool. We can provide a secure area for assistance dogs that may become stressed when separated from owners but in view of them. Water would be provided from a bowl. For those with visual impairment we would also provide assistance to and from the changing rooms as well as assistance to and from poolside. We cannot provide assistance in the changing area or assist changing.

The dog is the owner’s responsibility. In the rare event that an assistance dog misbehaves, please inform the owner. Assistance dogs are only allowed on site if they are “working”, allowing the owner to use the facilities, owners may not use the sports park facilities for exercising their dog, especially the playing areas of the sports fields. Please note: non - assistance dogs are not permitted on site for the following reasons. Hygiene: Dogs fouling the sports pitches or walkways around the sports park create unhygienic environments. Safety: Assistance dogs are trained to be in social environments and should not act violently. The danger of having untrained dogs on site is that they could attack a member of the public or another animal.

Parking

Our parking spaces may be used by visitors who are blue badge holders to park up to 5 hours. Please note: Time limit restrictions apply to all Surrey Sports Park Parking and car registration must be supplied at reception if wishing to park for over 3 hours.

Parking spaces for Blue Badge holders do not need to be booked in advance. The nearest designated bay is 6m (6yd 1ft) from the main entrance. The route from the car park to the building is accessible to a wheelchair user with assistance, though it may be required because there is a slope. The car park surface is tarmac.
