Pärnu is compact, green and flat: a fenced double dog park near the beach, a bastion moat turned promenade park, and a boardwalk through a protected coastal meadow are all within a half-hour walk of each other. Leashes are required in public areas; off-leash play belongs in the fenced park.
Mai · Beside the Mai light-traffic road, Mai district, Pärnu
The city's proper fenced dog park, split into separate areas for large and small dogs, with hills, bushes and agility gear including ramps, steps and a tunnel. It is the only place in Pärnu, together with the training ground, where dogs may legally run off-leash.
Old town edge · Between the old town and the beach district, Pärnu
The green moat of Pärnu's 17th-century Swedish bastions, now a curving park of lawns, water and footbridges with Estonia's tallest fountain in the canal. A classic leash loop between the old town and the sea, with summer concerts animating the amphitheatre.
Rannaniit · Coastal meadow south of Pärnu beach, Pärnu
A boardwalk trail with a viewing platform through the protected coastal meadow beside the beach, where city cows graze and wading birds nest. Dogs on a tight leash can join the walk; the observation tower views over the bay reward the detour.
