Construction work has begun on the dog park in Urbanisation Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente
The construction of the first dog park in Coin has already begun in an area of almost 1,000 square meters located in the Urbanisation of Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente. The works were visited by the mayor, Francisco Santos, together with the Councilor for Parks and Gardens, Vanesa Sedeño on Thursday, January 5.
Through a statement, the councilor highlighted his commitment to the park “so demanded by a large part of the citizens of Coín . Our municipality has a largely rural area where our animals can be, but we wanted to have a specific space for dogs as our neighbors demand”.
The dog park, which presents an L shape in its nearly 1,000 square meters, will occupy two different areas.
In one part, there will be an area for the socialisation of dogs which will have a picnic table, a sandy mound, and a water fountain for the dogs. In the other part, there will be a play area with up to seven games on an obstacle course, and will also have a picnic table and a fountain.
“The socialisation area is a space for those pets that are not used to socialising and interacting with other dogs,” explained Sedeño. In addition, the game’s track with obstacles will have a QR code where it will be explained how each game works. “It will be one more space for the walk and fun of our dogs and for the residents of the municipality,” he said.
