Seoul's Largest 'Dongjak Companion Dog Park' Temporary Opening

Approximately 5900㎡ Animal Registration for Companion Dogs - Free Use for All Dog Owners

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) is set to open the largest urban "Dongjak Companion Dog Park" in Seoul, beginning a pilot operation from the 12th.

Dongjak Companion Dog Park (located around 24-10 Noryangjin-dong) spans approximately 5,900㎡, making it the largest dog playground in Seoul and conveniently located in the city center.

Safety fences separate areas for medium/small dogs and large dogs, and the park is equipped with dog play and training equipment (agility), benches, restrooms, and a management office.

The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the park is closed every Monday as well as on Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays.

Use is open to anyone with a registered companion dog, regardless of residency, and is free of charge. However, a guardian aged 13 or older must accompany the dog, bringing waste bags and a leash. Dogs with diseases or classified as dangerous breeds are restricted from entry.

The district plans to monitor and address any issues or suggestions during the temporary opening and aims for an official opening around mid-next month.

During the temporary opening period, a survey will be conducted among users, and demand-tailored programs such as expert lectures in the animal field will be offered.

After the official opening, a "Companion Dog Culture Festival" will be held, featuring talk concerts, sports events, and educational programs that both dogs and owners can enjoy.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, stated, "Dongjak Companion Dog Park will play a positive role in resolving social conflicts and supporting the increasing number of companion animal households," adding, "Furthermore, we hope Dongjak-gu becomes an environmentally friendly city where people and animals coexist."
