Merksem
Laarsebaan
If you are planning a dog walk in Merksem (2170), Laarsebaan is one stop to consider. The park covers about 1,839 m² and has a 265 metre perimeter. Those figures say more than a photograph because they show whether your dog really has room to move.
The ground is grass. Knowing what the site is like before you arrive makes the moment the gate opens much less surprising. It may even avoid an argument with the dog already pulling at the leash.
A fence roughly 0.95 m high closes the area off. You get in through 1 gate. The park has 1 bin. Seating is available on 2 seats. After dark there is indirect lighting. Everything else depends on the moment. Weather, school hours and neighbourhood habits all shape how busy a random Tuesday evening feels, and that rhythm can differ from street to street across Merksem.
Dogs Social makes that moment visible. It shows which dogs are checked in at Laarsebaan now, who plans to arrive later and each dog's name, photo, size and social style. Your own name, address and location are not shared.
