*** UPDATE ***
Now there is an enclosed area in the park!
Finally also dogs with no recall can run free and socialize with their friends!
***************
Another beautiful dog walk where I bring Jago often is St. Catherine's Park.
It is a very nice and big park between Lucan and Leixlip.
In the main entrance there is a public car park with enough spaces and toilette.
The park is 200 acres and has many different areas.
In the southern part there is a "woodland walk" that Jago really loves.
And after running he loves to stop for a swim in the river.
In the northern part there are more open grass areas and sport pitches.
I never had problems leaving Jago running free, obviously taking care if there are kids / dog on leash and cleaning after him!
There is a "dog run", but to be honest is very small and not well maintained.
It's a nice place for running / rollerblading / cycling.
There are also all the fitness outdoor equipment!

I am going there few times a week now. I am bringing my bike and Jago is running after me.
We always meet friendly dogs, it's a good opportunity for exercising and socializing!
I will add more photos of the woodland area soon!
