Jakarta has recently become more open to dogs, but for dog owners who want to let their dogs stretch their legs, finding a dog-friendly park can be tricky. For hygiene and aesthetic reasons, the city has recently banned dogs from entering popular parks such as Taman Senopati and Ancol Eco Park.
Thankfully, dog parks are opening elsewhere, from malls to cafes. Some even have pools and obstacle courses to keep your furry friend fit and healthy, while others have pet shops, grooming salons, and dog training consultation centers.
Here are some of our dog park recommendations around the Jakarta Metropolitan Area.
1. COMO Park
COMO Park has an open space where you can take off your dog’s leash for much-needed zoomies and play-fights with new furry friends. You can also join in and the fun and chat up other dog lovers and share some tricks or even stories!
If you need some shade from the heat, grab a cone of au naturel Italian gelato from Gelato Secrets. Or watch the dogs from afar as you take a sip from Say Something Coffee’s selection. In need of something a little more fulfilling? Enjoy a slice of New York-style pizza from Pizza Place!

2. Avenue of the Stars @ Lippo Kemang
The beautifully-named Avenue of The Stars is a massive outdoor area in Lippo Mall Kemang. It’s a popular venue for family-friendly events featuring various celebrities.
It’s also an ideal area for weekend walks with your canine friend. We recommend coming in during the mornings to avoid large crowds of people.
If you’re tired or want to savor a peaceful moment with your dog, take some break and enjoy the delicacies the surrounding pop-up markets have or seize one of the open-air dining spots!

Kelapa Gading is the first mall to open a park for dogs in Jakarta. Here, you can let your dogs play with fellow furry friends or brush up on their agility using a variety of obstacles.
There are two types of playgrounds: one for toy breeds and one for larger dogs. There is also a 9×3 meter pool which all can enjoy together.

The Pet Kingdom is a one-stop service and shopping center for pet owners. And they mean all pet owners. Whether for dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, and even snakes!
At its core, however, Pet Kingdom is also a dog park too, but other animals can feel welcome. It’s no wonder that dog owners come here during the weekends to let their dogs run around or have a go at the obstacle courses. They also have pools to help your dogs cool off! Although located in Tangerang, its still near Jakarta!
While you’re there, pick up supplies from the pet shop or pet bakery (carrying treats for the animals), pet clinic, and even a daycare and pet hotel. You can also ask for a consultation on dog training with professionals!
