Although creating dog parks has been a very slow and complicated task, Spanish cities seem to be increasingly aware of the demand from both citizens and their ARISTOPERROS. Animals need a space to run and socialize with other dogs without disturbing other citizens. Fortunately, there are already many suitable areas across the peninsula where you can enjoy the outdoors with your pet.
El Cantizal dog park (Las Rozas, Madrid)
It covers 33,000 m2 and has a 500 m2 agility area. The facilities are fenced throughout with a wooden enclosure, and there are hygiene-bag dispensers, as well as a fountain where dogs can drink and cool off.
Juan Carlos I dog park (Madrid)
These are large green areas where dogs can roam freely, along with a small agility area in the center of the park featuring some sports equipment where training courses are occasionally held. It is also an eco-sustainable park, and all the services found there are environmentally friendly.
Manzanares Linear Park (Madrid)
The park is completely fenced and offers plenty of shade thanks to the plane trees and palm trees covering much of the area. It is a space with several viewpoints over Madrid, and you must climb up to the Dama del Manzanares, or Head of Ariadne, an original sculpture depicting a woman's head looking north, toward central Madrid.
El Retiro Park (Madrid)
El Retiro Park has a large dog area, a fenced area where you can always take your dog off-leash, with numerous benches, an agility area, and fountains for your ARISTOPERRO. You will also find drinking fountains, hygiene bags, and a dog toilet area.
Dog park in Parque de la Paz (Puerto de Santa María)
Near Valdelagrana Beach, this is a large, fenced area where dogs can relax, with plenty of trees, grassy areas, and shade for the hottest days. At its opening, the City Council launched an initiative to meet citizens’ demand for a dog-friendly space, and if this pilot project works well, a Network of Dog Parks will be developed.
Tomares Dog Park (Seville)
It is located inside Olivar del Zaudín Park and is the municipality's eighth dog enclosure and the largest built so far. It covers an area of 2,800 square meters with fencing, a dog drinking fountain, benches, lighting and trash cans. An agility area is also planned so that the dogs can exercise.
Santa Margarita Park (A Coruña)
It is the dog park with the largest number of dogs, as people come from all over A Coruña. It is a large enclosed area with a double gate and an area with a table and hose for washing the dogs, as well as benches, drinking fountains and obstacles such as ramps and tubes where they can exercise.
Campello Dog Park (Barcelona)
It has an area of around 5000 m where dogs can be taken off leash; it is fenced and perfect for walks, giving them a spacious area to run around freely. It is also close to the officially dog-friendly beach in this town, Punta de Riu.
Perros al Agua (Barcelona)
Very close to Barcelona, there is a dog park where all dogs can play and exercise in complete freedom. It is called Perros al Agua, and it is the largest and most complete dog park in Spain! At Perros al Agua, dogs run freely through the different areas, play on the attractions, alone, with their owners or with other dogs. And they can swim in the water park area for dogs! It has a huge natural grass area, with dozens of parasols under which you can lie down during the hottest periods and catch your breath with your dog.
There are also other dog pools in Madrid where you can enjoy time with your pet whenever the weather allows.
Spacious landscaped areas, nature and fresh air, places where you can enjoy the company of your ARISTODOG at all times. Tell us on social media which one is your favorite and whether you know of any other park where we can walk our pet freely and have a great time together.
