Off-leash areas

No dedicated off-leash park tagged in Incheon so far. That is usually a mapping gap, not a real one: pet shops and vet clinics know the informal spots.

In the meantime, the dog walking guide covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.

Good to know before you go

Vaccinations and tags. Keep proof of rabies vaccination handy; some parks and all kennels ask for it.
Leash laws. Outside designated off-leash areas, assume dogs must be leashed.
Heat. If you are visiting in summer, walk early or late and test pavement with your hand; if it is too hot for you, it is too hot for paws.
Vet backup. Save the number of the nearest clinic below in your phone before you need it.

Local tip: pet shops and vet clinics are the best source of current local knowledge -- which parks are busy when, which patios genuinely welcome dogs, and which trails to avoid in tick season. Ask; people love sharing.
