An open-air outlet centre on White Rose Way beside Doncaster Lakeside, and the most usefully dog-friendly indoor destination in the borough because it publishes exactly which shops will take a dog. Every store carries a sticker on the door: a green sticker means dogs are very welcome inside, a blue sticker means assistance dogs only, and around thirty of the units are green, including Clarks, The Body Shop, Mountain Warehouse, Trespass, Pavers and Skechers. There is a dedicated shelter called the Mutt Hut near the outdoor play area where you can sit with a drink, open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 10am to 4.30pm, and water bowls are put out through the centre. The house rules are leads on at all times, supervise and clean up, be mindful of other shoppers and pets, and never leave a dog unattended.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

Twenty hectares of plantation in the parish of Cantley-with-Branton, laid out around two hundred years ago as private hunting woodland on a seven thousand acre estate and closed to the public for most of its life. The Forestry Commission took it on in 1953 for timber and still kept people out; the council bought it in 1994 and opened it for the first time. Timber production continues alongside conservation work, so expect forestry rides, stacked logs and the occasional closed compartment rather than a manicured park. It is council open space under the Doncaster PSPO with no lake and no livestock, so no standing lead requirement, and it is quiet enough that you will often have the whole wood to yourself.
The council's own three and a half mile trail from Cantley Park north through the edge of the housing and into Sandall Beat Wood, which links the two biggest green spaces on the east side of Doncaster in one go. Cantley Park itself has woodland, a pond, a pitch and putt course that costs nothing if you bring your own clubs, and a skate park; the trail leaves it and works north across Sandall Beat Road into the wood. Under the Doncaster PSPO the lead goes on for the footpath round the Cantley Park pond and dogs stay out of the fenced play areas, but the rest is open. There is parking at Cantley Park itself, which Sandall Beat's own small car park often lacks by mid-morning at a weekend.
Eighteenth-century landscaped parkland below a Grade I hall two miles north-west of Doncaster city centre, with a chain of ornamental lakes in the valley and long grass slopes above them. The council's own page for the park names walks with the dog as one of the things it is for, and the parkland is open every day of the year even when the museum is shut. Under Doncaster's dog control PSPO the lead comes on for the footpaths that run round the lakes, and dogs must stay out of the fenced children's play areas; the open grass between the hall and the lakes is off lead. Parking is card or contactless only after repeated thefts from the machines, from £1.20 for an hour up to £7.00 over four hours, and the barrier locks at 9pm.
Nobody has written one for Lakeside Village Outlet Shopping. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
