Whether you stroll, jog or simply stop by Lumphini Park for a breath of fresh air after work, you've likely noticed some changes: the giant clock tower, refurbished walkways and even the under-construction Hawker Centre. But here is the news canine companions and their owners have been waiting for: a brand-new dog zone is set to open on December 31.
The Lumphini Dog Park marks the ninth such facility in the capital. It features sections for small and large breeds, an expansive running field, paw-wash stations, a Japanese-style garden and a pavilion where dog owners can unwind while their pets enjoy themselves.
A collaboration between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce Bangkok, the zone is designed as a Thai-Japanese Friendship Park, blending Japanese calm with Thai energy. Thoughtfully selected flora enhances the charm of both cultures.
Drawing inspiration from world-famous pet areas like Central Park Dog Run (NYC), Yoyogi Park Dog Run (Tokyo), Hyde Park Dog Area (London) and Sydney Park Dog Park (Australia), the construction is already about 40 percent complete.
So if you’ve got no plans this New Year’s, bring your four-legged BFF for a stroll, some bonding and maybe a few zoomies.
