What's New in The Dog Park
2.0.0
July 5, 2026
Welcome to the friendliest park yet. • A gentle first visit — a guided tutorial walks you through your first session, then shows you around your Home screen. • Adopt any puppy — pick your first dog from the full breed roster (it barks hello when you choose it). • The park reveals itself — come back day after day and new things quietly unlock, each introduced right when it matters. • Set your goal time with a slick new dial — a quick 15 minutes or an open-ended visit. • Throwable treats just for your dog, a friendlier treat bag, and a park full of dogs that now play with each other. • Focus Fence (optional) — gently shield distracting apps during a visit, with a clear, always-available way to turn everything back on. • Now in 40 languages, with locale-appropriate dog-name suggestions. Grab a leash — your pup's waiting at the gate.
