Pet parents, are you on the lookout for a safe, secure, and fun place for your dogs to exercise? Look no further than the JLT Dog Park! It has everything to keep your doggies entertained: plenty of open space, a sandpit, and even play equipment to help them burn off all that energy. 

From shaded seating and agility equipment to its friendly community vibe, the JLT Dog Park has quickly become a favourite hangout for dog owners across the city. Here’s everything you need to know before grabbing that leash.

About the JLT Dog Park

It’s easy to forget that our pets need exercise to stay healthy and sharp. Open every day from 8 am to 9 pm, the JLT Dog Park offers 475 sqm of space for your pet pooch to run around to their heart’s content. The park is conveniently located in Cluster H, so if you live in JLT – the neighbourhood full of soul – it’s a hop, skip and jump away. You can let your pets get a cardio workout while you burn off some calories as well, running, jogging, and playing with them.

Main features include:

  • A fenced and double-gated entrance for safety.
  • Open green space for running and games of fetch.
  • Sandpits for digging (because no dog can resist!).
  • Play equipment to keep pups entertained and active.
  • Shaded seating areas so owners can relax while keeping an eye on their furry friends.
