Which park suits your dog

Parks differ more than they look on a map. Start with fencing: escape artists and dogs with selective recall need a fully fenced park with a double gate, full stop. Small dogs do better where there is a separate small-dog section -- a 10 kg dog and a 40 kg adolescent do not play the same game. Then the ground: grass is easiest on joints and paws, gravel and bark mulch wear pads down and bake in summer sun.

Off-leash etiquette that keeps parks open

Vaccinated and licensed. Most parks require it; all of them assume it.
Watch your dog, not your phone. Off-leash is a privilege that depends on owners paying attention.
Pick it up. Every time, no exceptions -- this is the number-one reason parks get complaints.
Know your dog. Reactive or unneutered dogs and puppies under four months generally do not belong in busy off-leash parks.
Leave when it is not working. If your dog is overwhelmed or overwhelming others, a short walk beats a bad incident.

First visit to a new park

Walk the perimeter on-leash before unclipping: check the fence line for gaps, note where the water is, and watch the resident dogs for a few minutes. Keep the first session short and end it yourself while things are going well -- your dog will remember the park as the place good things happen.

Then think about water, shade and timing. On-site drinking water means lighter bags; shade or a shelter stretches a summer visit by an hour. Go early or on weekday evenings for calm, weekend mid-morning for the social scene. Shy or reactive dogs do best off-peak in short sessions -- and wherever you go, leash up through the gate area, where most scuffles start, and unclip once you are clear of the entrance.
