Is Pola Park Pet Friendly?
What You Need to Know If You’re Visiting With Your Pet (Small Dogs Only)
We’ve been bringing fun to families from all over Spain for almost 30 years in Santa Pola. During all this time, we’ve learned how important it is to adapt to the needs of our visitors.
So, when someone asks us if Pola Park is pet friendly, we answer clearly:
✅ Yes, we allow small dogs, but with conditions. Here’s everything you need to know so you and your furry friend can enjoy your day to the fullest.
Are pets allowed in Pola Park?
Yes, but only small dogs are permitted, and they must always be kept on a leash. Other pets and large dogs are not allowed.
What do we consider a small dog?
A dog you can easily control on a leash and that does not exceed 10–15 kg (22–33 lbs). And very important: your dog must never be off-leash.
Why only small dogs?
Pola Park welcomes many people and lots of children. Even if your large dog is calm, it could scare other visitors or cause uncomfortable situations. To guarantee safety, cleanliness, and a peaceful environment, we’ve chosen to allow only small-sized dogs.
Tips to Prepare Your Visit With a Dog
- Veterinary check-up
Make sure your dog is up to date with vaccinations and protected against heat and parasites. - Identification
Your dog must have a microchip and a tag with your details in case it gets lost. - Leash and safe transport
A leash is mandatory inside the park. If you arrive by car, use a carrier or safety harness. - Pack their essentials
Bring water, a portable bowl, waste bags, and if needed, a toy to help them relax. - Choose the right time
In summer, visit during the cooler hours of the day. Always check the park’s schedule before coming.
During the Visit
