Gwangjin-gu, Pilot Installation of Dog Leash Holders at Guui Park and Others

Installation at Park Restroom Entrances... Enhancing Convenience for Pet Owners and Alleviating Concerns for Non-Pet Owners
5 Locations Including Guui Park, Gwangjin Supnaru, Jamajang Park, Junggok Ginkgo Valley Park, and Yongma Urban Nature Park

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has pilot-installed leash holders for companion dogs at five parks.

As the number of pet owners walking their dogs in parks increases, inconvenient situations arise when using restrooms. Pet owners experience discomfort due to the lack of places to leave their dogs, and other visitors feel startled or uneasy around the dogs.

To resolve these inconveniences and anxieties, the district installed leash holders for companion dogs at the entrances of public restrooms in parks. They were installed so as not to obstruct passage, and public etiquette guidelines for pets were posted alongside.

The pilot installation locations are five parks with high dog traffic: Guui Park, Gwangjin Supnaru, Jamajang Park, Junggok Ginkgo Valley Park, and Yongma Urban Nature Park.

The district plans to gradually expand the installation areas considering residents' responses and areas for improvement.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “As the pet population grows, we are striving to establish policies for harmonious coexistence between people and animals,” and added, “We hope all residents will work together to establish a proper pet culture.”
