In the ward, there is a playground for dogs called "Wanwan Square", which effectively uses a part of the Sumida River Terrace and under the bridge. It can be used not only by central residents but also by anyone (free).
Wanwan Square on the Sumida River Terrace near Hamacho Park is located in Shinohashi Nishizume. It is a long and narrow dog run, and it is divided into two sections, a small dog area and a free area, so that you can enter from separate entrances. When friends who keep small dogs use it, they go together, but in this square many dogs are always playing well. I've used it several times, but I haven't seen any dogs that are annoying to other users or neighbors, such as fighting or barking. When you enter the square, dogs kunk their noses and greet them. It seems that there are many owners who already know you. He stares at the owner with an eye that appeals, "Let's play early!", And when he throws the ball, he moves to pick it up just as he waited. It seems that the dogs are happy to be able to run as much as possible without wearing the lead, and this is also a smile.
The area is separated, but for example, if you are a dog with a slightly smaller body and enter a small dog area but atrophy with other dogs who are too energetic, there is a large dog with a relatively calm personality. You will not be warned when you move to the free area. Of course, you need to look at the situation, but it doesn't seem to be so strict. There are also guards, so I think you can use it with confidence. In addition, if a dog has rough appearance in the area, each owner will take measures such as sucking it with a pee sheet or flushing it with water in a plastic bottle.
As I walked along the Sumida River from Wanwan Square to Kiyosubashi, poppies overflowing from the flowerbed were blooming colorfully (pictured).
This is Wanwan Square next to Tsukiji River Park. It's just under the Irifune Bridge. There were no users on this day. This is also divided into a small dog area or a free area. It is not a long and narrow flat dog run like Hamacho, but there are some slopes, so this seems to be a good run. Next to the square, basketball goals were set up, which were used by many people, such as junior and senior high school students and parents and children.
Why don't you use it to eliminate your dog's lack of exercise? Interacting with other dogs is likely to be a good training to improve sociality.
