Dormagen · Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
The Tannenbusch dog park in Dormagen is a fenced-in area that is open 24 hours a day. It provides space for dogs to move around freely and play. There are seating areas for dog owners and a paid parking lot nearby. The ground is rather sandy, which some visitors find to be a drawback. The surrounding area includes a wildlife park that can be visited with dogs, though leashes are required there. The dog park has mixed reviews, though the friendliness of the dog owners is praised.
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).
