"Man's best friends" can now exercise and play at Quinta do Covelo Dog Park

Quinta do Covelo already has a Dog Park and "man's best friends" can already play and exercise freely in the space. The dog park equipment has two different areas, and the works amounted to approximately 3800 sq. m. 

The project was concluded in a record breaking timeframe of 2 months and works feature the demarcation of the two dog playground areas, one for larger dogs and another for smaller dogs, through fencing with a meshed plastic net.

The site also provides traditional and durable pieces of outdoor site furnishings, such as concrete benches, water fountains for human and for animal use, paper bins, containers for separation of residues and supports for bags for canine residue collection.

In addition, there will be an anteroom common to both playground areas so that the owners can take their time in unleashing the pets.

There will also be canine recreational equipment to promote physical exercise, agility and dexterity.

The municipal company for public management works - GO Porto was in charge of the construction and the investment, estimated at 18.500 euros. This is the second dog playground in town, as the first was inaugurated in 2019, at the Garden Paulo Vallada. 

With the addition of this dog park at Quinta do Covelo, and with the inauguration of the Animal Collection Centre, the Municipal Executive is meeting its commitment to promoting animal welfare policies.
