Apart from extending the outdoors for your fur-kid and you, the new Bukit Gombak Park will also come with the estate’s first dog run! The dog run is said to be cover about 480 sqm of flat terrain and will include benches for the humans. Now, your canine and you can feel the wind against your face close to home!
However, with the Bukit Gombak Park scheduled to open only in early 2020, here are 5 other dog runs around the island for your canine and you to visit in the meantime.

Another popular dog run, the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio dog run is divided into 2 pens, one for the larger dogs while the smaller and medium-sized pups can run loose in the other. This is especially helpful for dogs that are nervous or aggressive around their larger counterparts and vice-versa.
This dog run is also equipped with water taps and benches for tired humans (or canines). As one of the more well-known and visited dog run, your canine and you are bound to make a fur-end or three! Plus, with the Canopy Garden Dining—a dog-friendly cafe—right on down the path, invite your new pals for a meal after.
