Mönchengladbach · Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
The dog park on Hubertusstraße is a popular spot for dog owners. According to Google reviews, the area is often described as well-suited for letting dogs run free. However, there are also some points of criticism, such as the disposal of dog waste and the muddy paths when it rains. There are also concerns that the area will soon be developed, which could disrupt the peace and quiet. Some users would like to see the park fenced in to provide greater safety for the dogs.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, leashes are required in pedestrian zones, fenced parks with playgrounds, at events and in public buildings, among other places. Dogs classed as dangerous must be leashed outside your own property; large dogs (from 40 cm at the withers or 20 kg) must be leashed in built-up areas on streets, paths and squares. In forests your dog may only run free on paths; off the paths a leash is required, and nature reserves often have stricter rules. The state recommends leashing dogs from 1 March to 31 July to protect young animals and ground-nesting birds. Cities and municipalities may have additional rules, so follow the signs.
This is a simplified overview, not legal advice. For binding rules in 2026 where you live and walk your dog, contact your local authority (e.g. municipal public order office).
