Antwerpen
Hof Van Tichelen
Hof Van Tichelen is an off-leash dog area in Antwerpen (2020). The area covers about 920 m² and has a 124 metre perimeter. Those measurements quickly show whether your dog can have a proper sprint here or is better suited to a quieter sniff around.
The ground is grass and sand. The planting consists of trees. What is underfoot makes a real difference: after a wet week, grass plays very differently from sand, while trees provide shade on the days your dog needs it.
A fence roughly 1 m high closes the area off. You get in through 2 gates. The park has 1 bin. The City of Antwerp records these permanent facilities, but not how busy the park is at this moment. The number of dogs changes from hour to hour. Carrying a bag is always sensible, and bringing water in summer is too.
That is where Dogs Social helps. The web app shows which dogs are checked in at Hof Van Tichelen now and who plans to arrive later, so you can know before reaching for the leash. A check-in is a self-reported signal, not a guarantee: a quiet map may simply mean that nobody checked in.
