In all areas of the city there are great options for letting dogs off the leash. Taking your dog for a walk is more than just a way to burn off energy and avoid stress, it’s also a way of strengthening the bond between guardian and pet. In addition to daily walks, which are essential, imagine how cool it would be to let your dog run free, light and loose?
We’ve compiled a list of parks and squares in São Paulo that offer cachodromos, a space where pets can play without a leash. Write it down!
North Zone – Youth Park
The dog park in Parque da Juventude is a hit with local residents. Within a fenced area in the park, dogs can be left free to enjoy themselves. The space gets a bit crowded at the weekend and it’s good to keep an eye out, as dogs can get hurt playing, but with care and extra attention, it’s worth it.
📍Avenida Cruzeiro do Sul, 2630 – Carandiru
West Zone – Villa-Lobos Park
A super positive point for the space reserved for pets at Parque Villa-Lobos is that it is divided into two: one for large dogs and the other for small and medium-sized ones. The dog area has toys and ample space for dogs to run around. On Saturdays, visitors can take part in the dressage classes that take place there.
📍Avenida Prof. Fonseca Rodrigues, 2001 – Alto de Pinheiros
Downtown – Buenos Aires Square
Those who live in the city center have great options for letting their dogs out. In the Higienópolis neighborhood is Parque Buenos Aires, where there is a fenced-in area for dogs. There, dogs can play off-leash while their guardians relax in the shade of the trees.
📍Avenida Angélica, 1500 – Higienópolis
South Zone – Ibirapuera Park
The city’s best-known park can be visited by furry creatures on a leash, but it also has an exclusive area for pets to enjoy. The Ibirapuera dog track even has an agility course.
📍 Next to gate 6. Rua Macau, 6 – Jardim Luzitania
East Zone – CERET Park
Located in Tatuapé, CERET Park has a ‘Pet Space’, a 2600m² fenced area. It’s a great outing idea for dogs and their owners, who can relax while their furry friends have fun.
📍Rua Eleonora Cintra, 1315 – Vila Regente Feijó
