This page sets out the Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) regarding how dogs' behaviour is regulated in parks and open spaces in and around Horley.

Where a person responsible for a dog does not follow the requirements of the PSPO(s), the council may issue them with a fixed penalty notice of £80 or, ultimately they may be prosecuted with a maximum £1,000 penalty on conviction.

The parks and open spaces are listed in alphabetical order. All play areas in the Acres, Langshott are listed under the Acres at the top of the list.

Some areas are covered by more than one PSPO which, together, set out the rules specific for each area.
