Quick answer: Want a walk with your pet after work without trekking to a dog park? There are 181 LCSD "inclusive parks for pets" near you — they are designated areas within ordinary parks, shared by people and dogs, mostly open 24 hours and all free. The biggest difference from fenced "pet parks": in an inclusive park, a leash is always required. Use the map below to find the nearest venue, and see which dog-friendly restaurants are within 1km so you can eat right after the walk.
What is an "inclusive park for pets"?
Walking the dog doesn't have to mean a fenced dog park! The LCSD launched the "inclusive parks for pets" pilot scheme in 2019 with just 6 parks; the response was very good, so it was regularised in February 2021 and more venues have been added district by district. As of 2026-10-19 there are 181 across Hong Kong, covering all 18 districts.
Simply put: these are the parks you already walk through, except the LCSD has marked out designated areas where you and your pet can go in together. They are shared by people and dogs, so a leash is mandatory.

Rules of use
LCSD official rules
- Pets must be on a leash at all times
- Clean up pet waste immediately
- Keep the venue clean
- Respect other park users
Our practical tips
- Check the "(designated area)" — not the whole park is open, only the marked zone. Look for the boundary signs at the entrance
- Bring clean-up bags and water — some venues have no drinking facilities, which matters especially in summer
- Avoid weekend afternoon crowds — it's a shared space, and everyone is more comfortable when it's quieter
- Watch for venue notices — maintenance or special arrangements are posted at the entrance
- For a first visit, pick a weekday morning — fewer people, and your dog adapts more easily
- Keep your distance from unfamiliar dogs — it's a shared space, so be considerate
- Watch for slippery ground after rain — especially grass and wood-chip areas
