BarkPark Dubai
$$ · Moderate·Off-leash permitted
BarkPark Dubai is a fully enclosed, off-lead dog park on a traditional Emirati farm in Al Awir, with separate areas for small dogs up to 12 kg and for larger dogs. It has a chlorine-free swimming pond, agility equipment, shaded seating and a retail shop.
Why it made the list
It is one of the few fully enclosed off-leash spaces in Dubai, and its owner states that it is licensed by Dubai Municipality, the Department of Economic Development and MOCCAE.
Good to know before you go
BarkPark's own site states that it is fully licensed by Dubai's Department of Economic Development, Dubai Municipality and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies and DHPPL, microchipped, carry a recent VacciCheck titer test and, if from Dubai, be registered with the Dubai Municipality and wear its ID tag; owners present an Emirates ID. The site requires advance booking and publishes no fixed opening hours. Source: barkparkdubai.com; confidence is high for the policy and medium for hours.

House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
