Allie Christoff -

The TLDR:

  • Discover dog parks near you
  • Know which other dogs are at the dog park
  • Expand your social circle and make new friends
  • Join in friendly competition with other pups at the park
  • Update your Fi app to access!

Find a Dog Park Near You

Within the Fi app, discover and navigate to nearby dog parks. To engage with this new feature, make sure you have the latest app version, and navigate to your profile page (click the image of your dog in the lower right corner), then click on the menu (three stacked lines in the upper right corner), and select Dog Parks from the menu.

A list of nearby dog parks will be listed and sorted by distance. From there, select your preferred park and tap on the blue address link under the park's name. Directions to the park will auto-populate via your preferred map application to guide you and your pup there.

Park Visitors

Are you wondering what dogs are at the park? Curious which dogs are "regulars" at the park nearby?

Find out by browsing the list of Dog Parks in your app and select the park in question to view which Fi Members are there or who have recently visited. Recent visitors' profiles will appear under “Park Visitors,” and if they are currently at the park, there will be a “here now” under their profile.

Connect with Fi Friends + Plan a Dog Park Playdate for Your Pack

With our newest feature, we have introduced a new series of notifications to help you connect with other Fi pups.

Did your pup meet a new pal at the dog park? Connect and follow new (or existing) Fi friends, and set up notifications to receive alerts the next time they hit the park so you and your pup can join them!

Or perhaps you are more of a planner? Through the Dog Parks feature, pick a park and initiate a playdate by inviting your pack to hit the park with you, setting the time and place.

As always, Fi members can customize their notification preferences and select what they would like to receive.

New Rankings – Park Leaderboards

For some friendly competition, turn to your Park Leaderboard. Fi members can view the top 50 dogs based on the number of visits they have made to the dog park. Each dog park has a leaderboard that updates in real time.

Each dog shown in the leaderboard will also have the number of dog park visits shown in their profile card. Fi members can choose to follow any of their new Fi friends shown on the leaderboard. Simply tap Follow under the number of visits shown.

To engage with this new feature, make sure you have the latest app version. Navigate to your profile page (click the image of your dog in the lower right corner), then click on the menu (three stacked lines in the upper right corner), and select Dog Parks.
