Dog parks in and in around Javea. If you’re looking for somewhere different to walk your dog, then look no further! Although it’s perfectly acceptable to walk your pooches on a leash all around Jávea, sometimes you may want to let go of the reins and let your pup run wild! In these times, there are parks devoted specifically for this!
Leash laws in Javea are becoming increasingly more strict due to the potential for property damage and attacks, so dog parks give puppies the opportunity to roam and roll around without any tugging. Puppy parks also keep four-legged friends safe from cars and busy sidewalks while allowing them to get adequate off-leash exercise and social activity.

Benitachell Dog Park
I must admit that in this instance the phrase Dog ‘Park’ is used loosely… If you are looking for somewhere to let your dog gallivant to it’s heart’s content, then I probably wouldn’t recommend this ‘park’! This no thrills dog park covers an area of 350m², with a bin, sand floor and high chain link fences surrounding the perimeter… that’s pretty much it! This ‘park’ does what is says on the tin and not much more. If you’re close by and your dog needs a run, then this park should just about do it!
Benitachell Dog ‘Park is located just under 7km SouthWest of the Arenal Beach. To get there from Javea Arenal area one must…
Head southwest on the ‘Avenida Arenal’ and take the 3rd exit on the roundabout joining ‘Ctra. del Cap de la Nau Pla’, then take the 2nd exit joining C. la Haya. At the roundabout at the end of the road you should take the 3rd exit followed by an immediate right. Continue on this road as it bends left and right for 3.8km, where you will come to a roundabout. Take the first exit on the roundabout, then continue straight for a further 700m. At the junction turn left and continue on this road up through Benitachell for 1.2km, where you will see a large white building on your right hand side, advertising ‘ALDI’. Turn right into the park and you will see the dog park on your right.

Trust Resort Dog Park Ondara
The Trust Resort Dog Park is my personal favorite on the list. It’s a little further away than the other parks on the list, however this one has a special twist! The 63,000 m² ‘resort’ offers an 850 m² pool, in which your dog is free to paddle, play with the water jets and even go down one of the many slides! The resort also offers a kennel, dog training, dog grooming and dog sports services.
There is an entry fee to the pool for €15 and that includes 1 dog and their owner. (For more information on the services and prices, please follow the link at the bottom of the page) If you’ve never been to a doggie water park before, then I would strongly recommend it! It’s such a fantastic experience for both the owner and the dog, whether you’re going for leisure or to water train your pooch. The ‘resort’ also has a bar and restaurant that serves food and drink at very reasonable prices. Lastly the ‘resort’ hosts social events for both owners and their pets, be it behavioural competitions for the dogs or holiday and night time pup parties for the owners. It truly is a comprehensive canine resort!

Head southwest on the ‘Avenida Arenal’ and take the 1st exit on the roundabout joining ‘Ctra. del Cap de la Nau Pla’, then take the 2nd exit on the following roundabout and continue straight. At the next roundabout, you will once again take the 2nd exit and follow the road until you reach the next roundabout, where you will take the 2nd exit. Take the 2nd exit at the following 3 roundabouts, followed by an immediate right. Go straight over at the next roundabout, following Av. de Palmela up the hill to yet another 2 roundabouts, going straight over both. Follow the CV-734 to the next roundabout, where you will take your 3rd exit continuing on the CV-734. Go straight across the following 2 roundabouts and continue straight for 3.5km where you will go straight over another 2 roundabouts.
After 500m, turn right down towards the motorway. Follow the motorway for just under 5.5km. The road will split into 2 as you go past a car service shop, you need to take the right lane and then the right lane after that. Follow the road as it bears round to the right, as you go over the bridge, stay right, taking the first right turn available. Follow the road as it bends once again. Once you have completed the full bend keeps your eyes peeled as the entrance to the resort is on your right hand side. It’s only a narrow dirt track and may be hard to spot, so stay vigilant. Once you turn right, the resort is 350m in front of you.
