Rules for visiting dog parks
There are certain rules that, as pet owners, we must comply with. If you want to visit a public space with your dog, you must comply with the following rules:
- Carry bags and pick up your dog's droppings. Be responsible and clean up after your dog.
- Don't throw litter or cigarette butts on the ground, and use the litter bins provided.
- If your pet requires it, take a muzzle and leash.
- Don’t release your dog unless you’re sure it’s sociable and doesn’t bite. Avoid fights at all costs.
Discover dog parks in the capital city

- Dog park in Lomo la Plana: Near Las Perreras and Parque Juan Pablo II, on Calle Lomo la Plana 3, you’ll find this green dog park with trees. This pipican is popular for being quiet, with a very good atmosphere and responsible owners who keep an eye on their pets. However, it’s rather small.
- It has grass, dirt and sand areas, shade and a water tap.
- Pipican La Ballena: Located at Calle Gustavo J Navarro Nieto 2 is this dog park. It also has fresh water and training accessories.
- Dog park San Jose: This dog park is quite large and has plenty of trees and shade. However, it’s a bit noisy, as it’s next to the motorway. It’s a very pleasant space for pets. It also has water fountains for the dogs and benches for the owners.
- Parque de los Grillos: located in Calle la Minilla, next to Mirador Guanarteme, it’s a very good park with plenty of shade. It’s not very well known, so you can enjoy a very quiet atmosphere.
