I discovered another dog park within walking distance from home, and since it is in Moabit, I took the opportunity to arrange to meet my friends who live nearby there and then go for an al fresco lunch in one of the many ethnic restaurants around Turmstraße.
The Moabit Hundegarten is probably the smallest I have been to so far, but it has shade, places to sit, and a water tap. Whether those facilities are enough to lure us back there, I don’t know. But perhaps the fact that Ahmed and Omar and many ethnic restaurants are nearby will help ;-). Also, in nice weather, the walk there is lovely. Here is a link to the route om mapmywalk.
Here is an impression of the dog park and of Max perfecting his recall.
And here are a couple of photos I took with my smartphone on the way there and during lunch:
