Parque Metropolitano Simón Bolívar

FreeLeashed, off-leash zone on site

Bogotá's 900,000 square metre metropolitan park, with a 10-hectare lake, a 3.1 km running track, cycle paths and its own dog area. It is where the city's dog owners go when they want distance rather than a lap of the block.

Why it made the list

The only place in the city where a dog gets a genuinely long walk plus a designated off-leash stop.

Good to know before you go

IDRD's rules require every companion animal to be on a leash, harness or similar at all times under an adult's control, and owners must pick up waste. The park lists a parque canino among its facilities, so off-leash belongs there rather than on the lawns. Hours are 5:00–18:00 and entry is free; note the adjacent Los Novios sector bans pets outright, so use the main gates.

Practical notes

  • Enter by Puerta 2 on Carrera 68 for the shortest route to the dog area
  • Weekday mornings are quietest, Sunday after Ciclovía is packed

What is available on site

  • Off-leash area

Parque de la 93

Bogotá, ColombiaSource ↗

The compact, well-kept park at the heart of Bogotá's Chicó restaurant district, ringed by cafes, bars and hotels. Small enough for a coffee-and-loop visit, busy enough that your dog will meet others.
