Parks · Suminoe-ku
One of six Osaka Prefectural parks with an official dog run, in the Suminoe ward near the port. The run has a soil surface, a drinking-water station and a paw-washing area and is open year-round; the wider park also holds a botanical garden, sports grounds and river views.
A free fenced off-leash run with drinking water and a paw-wash, easy to combine with a longer walk in the park.
The prefectural government lists Suminoe as an official dog-run park, and the park's own portal posts the seasonal times above, including a reserved afternoon slot. Entry is free, dogs must be registered to use the run and kept leashed in the rest of the park, and the run is oriented to smaller dogs. Size and weight rules are not clearly published, so confirm with the park office.
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.
