Off-leash dog parks offer a safe place for you to take your dog so that they can get some quality exercise off the leash. They present a good opportunity for untethered running and chasing, as well as opportunities for training and socialization with other dogs and people.
Generally, they are fenced off so your dog can’t escape and are usually grassy so they are comfortable and safe for running on. While you don’t have to let your dog off the leash in these parks, you should be prepared for the fact that other dogs will be running free and may approach you and your companion.
