Running out of room for a dog park? Look up!
Rooftop dog parks are becoming an innovative apartment pet amenity, especially in urban communities where ground-level space is limited. An unused rooftop can become a convenient place for residents and their dogs to exercise, play, and socialize.
A successful rooftop dog park requires more than turf and a fence. Drainage, waterproofing, weight limits, shade, safety, surfacing, noise, and maintenance all need to be considered during the planning process.
For apartment owners and developers, a thoughtfully designed rooftop dog park can turn underutilized space into a standout multifamily pet amenity that residents actually use.
At Dog Park Advisors, we help apartment communities and developers plan functional, attractive dog parks—from feasibility to final design.
Because sometimes the best place for a dog park is on the roof!
