2. Tiong Bahru Sit Wah Dog Run

Tiong Bahru Sit Wah dog run is a hidden gem for the dog lovers in the South. It is located near cafes and local food stops. There are no restrictions to leashes so your dogs can run freely. It also offers some shaded areas to protect the skin from the sun. If you need to rest for a while, there are benches available for water breaks. This dog run was built thanks to the concerned community of Tanjong Pagar. They opened a petition to the town council to open up a dog park in 2015. Long story short, it was granted and now this dog run has a spacious, fenced and shaded area where dogs and owners nearby can have some quality outdoor time. Just like Clementi, this park has no water station so bring your own supply. Some pet owners do not advise visiting Tiong Bahru Sit Wah during rainy days as it can get muddy. The uneven ground is good for dogs but it can create muddy pool, your dog might need a shower afterwards.
