Delhi’s first Pet Dog Park is a visual delight

Team L&M

The erstwhile Chetak Park in Old Rajinder Nagar, near Karol Bagh metro station, has been transformed into an exclusive Pet Dog Park by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC). This marks the first dedicated dog park in Delhi, providing pet owners with a safe and enjoyable space to walk and play with their dogs.

Vibrant Dog-Themed Street Art Enhances the Park

One of the park’s standout features is its colorful and artistic walls. Over 30 dog paintings in a variety of shapes, sizes, and moods adorn the park, created by a talented team of artists from Delhi Street Art (DSA). Additionally, students from local schools and colleges contributed to one of the walls, adding a community-driven touch to the park’s design.

Creating a Unique Pet-Friendly Experience

““Himanshu Gupta, DC Karol Bagh NDMC, engaged us to bring this dream project to life, and we are very excited about it. Our team completed the paintings in five days,” says DSA Founder Yogesh Saini. The artworks showcase different dog breeds in multiple artistic styles and cover every available surface of the park premises.

Fun, Play, and Selfies for Pet Owners

The park engages both dogs and their owners. “We hope the artworks will appeal to dog lovers when they visit this park to let their pets run, play, and explore. A special wall with a sitting space allows visitors to take selfies with playful dog-themed art,” adds Yogesh.

In addition to art, the park features informative pet care panels, and the DSA team creatively repurposed old tyres as obstacles for dogs to run through, ensuring a playful and interactive environment.

A Safe Haven for Pets in Delhi

For pet owners, this is a welcome development. The dog park near Karol Bagh lets pets enjoy outdoor time safely, without threats from street dogs. One local resident shares, “I have three dogs, and nearly 10 homes around the park are dog owners. It’s great to finally have a dedicated space for our pets.”

Pet-Friendly Places in Delhi Are Expanding

The opening of this Delhi Pet Dog Park signals a growing trend toward pet-friendly spaces in the capital. Parks like this cater to pets’ activity needs and foster community among dog owners, art lovers, and families.
