Most public parks do not explicitly allow dogs, and policies can vary or be enforced differently by park staff. If you’re looking for places where pet owners regularly gather, these are your best options: DIplomatic Quarter, Wadi Hanifah, and Sports Boulevard.
While these places are not officially pet parks, many pet owners walk their dogs in these places, particularly during quieter morning and evening hours. Dogs should remain on a leash, and owners should be respectful of other visitors.
