What's a dog run?
Dog runs are large fenced-up areas within parks where dogs can roam or play with each other in an open space.
Families with dogs of any size, and breed can head over to a dog run and let their fur kids run free without leashes.
There are many Dog Runs in Singapore, namely: Bishan Park Dog Run, Katong Park Dog Run, West Coast Dog Run, Yishun Park Dog Run, Tampines Central Park Dog Run, and Sembawang Park Dog Run.
