Hey Everybody,
It's so nice to have a place to go and ask questions. My husband and I will be moving to Hong Kong in the next couple of months and we have a couple of questions.

1. Does anybody know if they allow dogs at the Parkview apartments (not the Service Apartments).
2. If so, is there grassy areas around the place for my dog to walk?

Thank you in advance for your help

1. I'm not sure, but I assume so since...

2. Parkview is right in the middle of a country park (indeed many wonder who had to be paid off to get the permission to build it at all) so green spaces are no problem.

Yes they are allowed. A few dog owners I know chose to live there because of the Taitam reservoir where they can walk their dogs.

Parkview itself does permit dogs. Plenty dogs of all sizes live there. However, individual landlords decide whether or not they will include pets in the lease. There are restrictions regarding dog noise inside - I believe if your neighbors complain formally a few times about barking, roughhousing, etc. the pet can be required to leave. But, I haven't heard of this happening. Parkview also has lots of restrictions regarding where dogs can be walked inside the complex. But, with the country park just outside, I can't imagine wanting to walk dogs around the complex anyway.

Tai Tam Country Park (just outside of Parkview) is an excellent place for walking with dogs, but the areas around Parkview are quite hilly, with few flat areas to stroll. There are some flat and grassy open fields, but getting there is a little bit of a hike. If your dog is old and unable to handle hills, it isn't the best place to be. Otherwise its about as good a place as there is on HK island for dogs. There are a few doggie playgroups that go to the park daily (usually helpers take the dogs I think).
