New Dog Park Opens Next to Athletics Stadium in Budapest – Harp Playing Allowed!

A Modern Oasis for Canine Companions
A spacious and modern dog park has recently opened in Budapest’s 9th district, adjacent to the National Athletics Center. This 2,200 square meter facility, located at the intersection of Kvassay Jenő Road and Hajóállomás Street, is part of the agreement related to the athletics stadium development.
State-of-the-Art Amenities
The park offers separate areas for small and large dogs, ensuring safe play spaces for canines of all sizes. Key features include:
- Two separate entrances
- 18 dog play equipment items: tunnels, jumping obstacles, ramps, slalom course, and a digging pit
- Zeolite surfacing that absorbs organic matter and bacteria
- Drinking fountains for both dogs and their owners
- Lighting and rain shelters for all-weather use
Environmental Considerations
Environmental considerations were also taken into account, with new trees planted (including narrow-leaved ash and European linden) and shrubs added for dust and noise protection.
A Touch of Humor
One of the park’s most entertaining aspects is its humorous information board. It playfully states that dogs will be held accountable for any “conceptual damages” by the “Bacon-Scented Great Spirit” on Tuesdays, and that while frowning and growling are permitted, washing at 60 degrees is prohibited.
Operating Hours
The park is open from 4:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with a tongue-in-cheek note that cats may only use the area during the remaining 5 hours.
Conclusion
This new facility not only provides a much-needed space for dog owners in the area but also adds a touch of whimsy to the urban landscape, elevating both the dog-walking experience and the quality of public information displays in Budapest.
