Best dog parks for a Chihuahua

ALWAYS use small-dog areas. A 60-lb dog playing rough can injure a Chihuahua in seconds. Indoor parks or quiet times are safer. Bring a sweater in cool weather.

What to look for

• 🐕
  Dog parks with small-dog areas

  Separate areas just for small breeds — safer play for under-25-lb dogs.

• 🚧
  Fully fenced dog parks

  Fully enclosed dog parks with secure perimeter fencing — peace of mind for runners.

• 🏠
  Indoor dog parks

  Climate-controlled indoor dog parks — perfect for rainy days, summer heat, and winter snow.

• 🌳
  Dog parks with shade

  Parks with mature trees, shade structures, or covered areas to keep dogs cool.
