Who We Are

Who We Are

​We're a collective of Wellington dog lovers who saw a need—and decided to do something about it.

Our focus is to create safe, private, hireable, and affordable spaces where dogs and their owners can exercise, train, build confidence and thrive. These spaces will allow graduated socialisation for anxious and reactive dogs. Dogs can meet and interact with up to three dogs per booking in a calm, controlled environment, that minimises stress and noise.

Our initial focus is the central Wellington district, where we'll launch a pilot park before expanding to more locations.

We see the potential for many suitable public and private sites to become short or long-term private dog exercise areas, creating a network of accessible spaces that benefit dogs, owners, and the wider community.

We can also connect owners with experienced dog trainers to make the most of these spaces.

Freedom Fields exists to:
  • Promote safe and accessible private dog exercise spaces.
  • Support responsible dog ownership.
  • Encourage positive dog training and socialisation.
  • Build partnerships with landowners, trainers, volunteers, and the wider community.
