That\u2019s why we are suggesting the most popular ones. <strong>Retiro<\/strong> is one of the most touristic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/buen-retiro\/\" target=\"_blank\">parks<\/a> in <strong>Madrid<\/strong>. During the day, locals and tourists like walking around to enjoy the nature and the pathways. Families come so that the children can enjoy the playground areas, runners and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/where-to-buy-your-new-bicycle-in-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\">bikers<\/a>\u00a0come to enjoy exercise outdoors. Before 10 am and after 8 pm, your <strong>dog<\/strong> can walk around without a leash. The special fenced spots are on the northwest side of the park. Another popular park for dogs is <strong>Madrid R\u00edo<\/strong>. This 10 km park is absolutely amazing during the summer, with large spaces, green areas, good pathways. Located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/chamartin-district\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Chamart\u00edn<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Berl\u00edn park<\/strong> is also a popular location, especially due to the fact that it has pieces of the original Berlin Wall. If you live close to downtown, <strong>Juan Carlos I park<\/strong> is a good one too, which bets heavily on sustainable methods of maintenance. On the other side of the R\u00edo, <strong>Casa del Campo<\/strong> is another main park in <strong>Madrid<\/strong>\u00a0where you can take your <strong>dog<\/strong>. With more than 1720 hectares, animals can enjoy the nature and run around freely as much they want. In all these parks, you will find some facilities to improve your <strong>dog&#8217;s<\/strong>\u00a0agility and large places to run and play with your <strong>dog<\/strong> safely.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"locations\"><\/span>Locations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Retiro Park:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/egWNsuiiDN62\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Plaza de la Independencia, 7 <\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Madrid Rio Park:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/bn5h8VtbwZt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Puente de Toledo<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Juan Carlos I Park:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/WLWHBd499fL2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Glorieta Sar Don Juan de Borbon y Battermberg<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Berl\u00edn Park:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/wFCunD8KHeR2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Av. de Ram\u00f3n y Cajal, 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Casa del Campo:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/VmKoV5mmDGM2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Paseo Puerta del Angel, 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Looking for an apartment in the city? <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ShMadrid<\/a><\/strong> can help you find the perfect one.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-center kksr-disabled\"\n    data-id=\"6294\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 125px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <strong class=\"kksr-score\">5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\/<\/span>\n        <strong>5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">(<\/span>\n        <strong class=\"kksr-count\">1<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\n            vote        <\/span>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a pet owner living in Madrid and you are looking for good places to walk with your dog you are in luck.
