A dog park, also known as a "public dog park" or "off-leash dog area", is a green space designed specifically for dogs of all sizes and breeds to exercise, play and socialize with other dogs freely and safely, promoting their psychological and physical balance.
In addition, for dog owners, the dog park represents an opportunity to exchange tips and share moments of conviviality.
If you are planning to build a dog park in your city, consider including play areas with obstacles, garbage cans, benches, dog water bowls and shaded areas for the comfort and safety of our faithful companions.
We invite you to explore this catalog of dog park equipment designed to encourage play, exercise and socialization, and to adapt to your community's space and budget needs.

The dog park: An important asset for cities and their four-legged friends.
Cities change, and with them the needs of their inhabitants. Among them, our friends the dogs deserve special attention.
Integrating dog parks into urban planning has several advantages:
- They respond to the growing demand from city dwellers who have dogs, and improve the quality of life in the city.
- They enrich community life and beautify our cities.
- They contribute to the cleanliness of cities by providing specific areas for dogs' needs.
- They reflect the municipalities' commitment to an inclusive city that is attentive to the needs of all its residents, human and canine alike.
What equipment does a dog park need?
The choice of dog park equipment will depend on several factors, such as the size of the park, the number of dogs using it, the budget available and the specific needs of the dogs.
Here are the recommended elements for any dog park:
- Information sign: At the entrance of the dog park, an information panel must clearly state the rules to be respected. These rules, which set out the conditions of access, exempt the municipality from liability in the event of an incident, while confirming the individual responsibility of the owners.
- Fences: Fences are essential to ensure the safety of dogs and prevent them from escaping. They must be high and strong enough to resist escape attempts.
- Doors: Doors should be equipped with a secure locking system to prevent dogs from escaping. Double doors are recommended.
- Flooring: The floor of the dog park should be draining and easy to clean. It is important to avoid concrete or asphalt floors, which may be too hard on the dog's joints.
- Furnishings: Dog park furnishings may include benches for owners, areas to protect dogs from the sun or rain, etc.
- Litter Bins: Litter garbage cans are mandatory for owners to pick up their dogs' droppings. Dog waste bag dispensers can also be provided as an added value.
- Water fountain: A dog water fountain, or better yet, a combined fountain for human and animal consumption, is essential in any dog park.
- Obstacles for dogs to play and exercise: Dog agility courses are a great advantage of dog parks. With a variety of games and obstacles such as tunnels, fences, walkways, slaloms, walls, swings and tables, these elements encourage dogs to exercise while having fun. These healthy dog runs are also an excellent way for owners to bond with their pets.
