It is divided into two separate sections: one for small dogs and another for larger breeds. This setup ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all dogs, providing a space where smaller pets won't feel intimidated by larger, more energetic dogs.

small and large dog areas are equipped with
double-gate entry systems, enhancing safety by preventing accidental escapes and giving pet owners peace of mind.

water faucets for both pet owners and dogs to stay hydrated and provides bags for dog waste, ensuring the park remains clean and pleasant for all visitors. The park is
