Frequently Asked Questions About Calvin’s Fields at the Coloured Ponds, Nr Petersfield - Calvin’s Field

What facilities are available at Calvin's Fields at the Coloured Ponds for a 50-minute session?

Calvin's Fields offers two separate paddocks for private hire near Petersfield. Calvin's Field includes a pond and woodland paths with mature trees and natural screening, whilst Yogi's Place features agility equipment including tunnels, planks and a rope swing. Both fields have benches for seating, complimentary poo bags, bins, and dedicated parking areas. Sessions are 50 minutes long with solo booking, so your dogs have the space entirely to themselves. The fields can accommodate up to three dogs per booking, from around £12 per session.

Is Calvin's Fields suitable for anxious or nervous dogs?

Yes, Calvin's Fields is particularly well-suited to anxious and nervous dogs. Owners we hear from consistently mention how the exclusive, private hire format, with no other dogs present, helps their worried pets relax and enjoy off-lead time. One local owner told us their very anxious dog feels completely at home here, whilst another with a nervous whippet appreciated the quiet, secluded location away from distractions. The solo booking structure and peaceful rural setting near Rake make it a popular choice for dogs that struggle in busier environments.

What is the terrain like at Calvin's Fields, and does it get muddy?

Both fields at Calvin's Fields are grassy with natural, established terrain. Calvin's Field sits on a slope with mature trees, a pond, and a large puddle in the centre that dogs love splashing through. Owners tell us it can get gloriously muddy, especially in winter months, wellies and grippy footwear are strongly recommended. The uneven, sloping ground and woodland edges give dogs plenty to explore and sniff, making it ideal for water-loving and adventurous dogs. Despite the mud, visitors consistently mention how clean and well-maintained the space is.

How secure is Calvin's Fields at the Coloured Ponds for off-lead exercise?

Calvin's Fields is fully enclosed with six-foot-high fencing around both paddocks, providing a perimeter for off-lead exercise. Owners we speak to appreciate this, particularly those with escape-prone or reactive dogs. The private, solo-hire format means your group is the only one in the field during your 50-minute session. On-site parking is immediately adjacent to the field entrance, and dogs should remain on lead until inside the paddock to prevent any dash towards the road.

Where is parking at Calvin's Fields, and how easy is access from West Sussex?

Calvin's Fields is located in the quiet village of Rake, just outside Petersfield, with easy access from across West Sussex and the South Downs. There's a main car park plus dedicated parking areas for each field, all well signposted and set back from the road. Owners tell us parking is straightforward and spacious, making drop-off simple even with multiple dogs. The rural location means you're arriving into a peaceful, tranquil setting with views towards the South Downs, a relaxed start to your session.
