Contrary to the name, Butterfly Valley is not festooned with butterflies. It is, however, home to the largest pet park in Kowloon. Here, you can make use of numerous equipment, such as railings to manoeuvre around and rings to jump through, to train your dog to be the next star on Asia’s Got Talent. If your pooch gets a little dog-tired, you can wind down together by taking a stroll along the scenic footpath.

Facilities: Pet activity area; pet play equipment; dog excreta collection bin; temporary mobile toilet

Opening hours: Daily, 7am to 12am

Another fantastic waterfront dog-friendly park. Located in the Southside neighbourhood of Telegraph Bay, this park is the ideal place for you to let your pet loose thanks to its vast grassy lawns. While the dogs run about, you can relax and enjoy a picnic by the harbour. There are also several taps around the area to keep furry friends thoroughly hydrated. The only downside, there are occasionally snakes spotted during summer, so be sure to keep an eye out! 

Facilities: Grassed area; dog excreta collection bin

Opening hours: Daily, 7am to 11pm

Art Park in the West Kowloon Cultural District is a prime spot for viewing the Victoria Harbour during sunset. What it's also great for, is dogs! Whether you're looking to take your pooch on a fun, breezy, and beautiful stroll along the waterfront, or if you want to relax with a picnic, your canine companion can be right by your side – as long as they're kept on a leash. For those who want to let their doggies roam free, there is a Pet Zone at the northern edge of the park, where your furry friend can have a run around. 

Facilities: pet activity areas; pet latrines; pet excreta collection bins; lawns

Opening Hours: Daily, 6am to 10pm

As well as being a prime location for festivals and viewing Hong Kong’s various fireworks displays, Central and Western District Promenade is actually a great spot for dog owners to let their mutts off the leash. The spacious grassy area is fully fenced, meaning you and your pup can run around and play fetch.

Opening Hours: Daily, 24 hours

Kwun Tong has been steadily revamped and revitalised over the past few years. It has seen several new additions, including the gorgeous Kwun Tong promenade by the harbour. Just less than five minutes away from there is the Kwun Tong Pet Park, which boasts big spacious lawns, a dog balancing wood, water fountains and more. Once you and your four-legged buddy exhaust yourselves, head over to the promenade and enjoy the sunset. 

Facilities: Amenity Lawn for pets; drinking fountains for dogs; dog latrine; play equipment for dogs

Opening hours: Daily, 24 hours

In the shadows of Tsuen Wan's famous Nina Tower is a park with an adjoining dog area that is a haven for both doggies and their hoomans. Walk around the waterfront space and feel the sea breeze in your hair – or fur – and then head to the pet garden that adjoins the park, where your four-legged friend can be unleashed and socialise with other mutts in the circular courtyard. 

Facilities: pet activity areas; pet latrines; pet excreta collection bins; water point, garden benches

Opening Hours: Daily, 24 hours
