Parks and green areas

Dog parks

Dog parks are fenced areas reserved for outdoor activities for and with dogs. They are areas where the dog is allowed off-leash. Some parks have two separate areas, one for larger and one for smaller dogs.

When moving with dogs elsewhere in urban areas, they must kept on leash in accordance with the Act on Public Order.

There are a total of approximately 1,200 garbage cans in the city area that can be used for dog droppings.
