Off-leash areas

We have not mapped a dedicated off-leash dog park in Mumbai yet. That usually means there is not one tagged in open map data rather than that none exists -- ask at a local pet shop or vet clinic, they always know.

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.

Ask a local: the staff at pet stores and vet clinics know the real picture -- the unofficial off-leash spots, the patios that actually like dogs, the trails to skip in tick season. A two-minute conversation beats an hour of searching.
