Animal lovers are always looking for a place where their pets can play, run and have fun in the fresh air. Xàbia has more than a dozen playgrounds and recreational areas. In five of these spaces there are areas enabled as pipi-can so that coexistence between people and pets is more civic and generates fewer problems; but in these parks, the animals cannot be loose.
In this way, the town of Xabiera, since the first dog park opened in 2015, already has a total of four spaces destined, entirely, for dogs.
Next you have an index with all the points that we are going to deal with.

Pipi-Can in the Reina Sofía Park
I would like to comment on the disastrous state of Paris Street Park, in Arenal, dirty, full of leaves and dry branches all over the ground, it smells more and it is sad not to be able to enjoy this park. You could put a children's area, we have small children and not all of us have a private garden. It only serves for the dogs to do their things and it would not have any problem, if it were because there are owners who do not collect their animals' feces, becoming a source of infection.
