The said launching was attended by KRASH Kagay-anon Responsible Association of Siberian Husky who brought their amazing dogs to try out the park’s obstacle course.

The dog park is located at the 5th floor of SM CDO Downtown Tower’s Sky Garden, and is currently only accessible through its mall from 4 PM to 8 PM only – and is completely free of charge.

The Paw Park features two areas, an open area where its owners can lounge and relax freely with other pets and their owners leashed or unleashed, and a playground where owners and their furry buddies can play or train in an obstacle course.

For her part SM CDO Downtown Premier, General Manager, Bambi Ochavo Ditona said the park aims to provide a venue for dog lovers to bring their pets and promote a pet-friendly environment. However, as of this writing, only dogs are allowed to enter the paw park. And to ensure social distancing for its owners only 10 dogs are allowed in and owners must wear face mask and shield at all times.

The Paw Park has a few guidelines to take note of before entering. This is to ensure the safety of its shoppers, pet owners as well as their pets.

“Before entering the Paw Park, the owner must present the dog’s vaccination records, showing that all required vaccinations are dated and verified with signature. Also, all dogs inside the paw park must be accompanied and directly supervised by a responsible and capable adult no younger than 18 years of age,” Ditona said.

Press Relations Officer, Ivy Guantero also said that no person may bring in more than two dogs at one time unless they are accompanied by another responsible and capable adult for every additional dog.

As responsible pet owners you must always clean up after your dog’s waste – bins are provided by the mall. Bringing in food, rawhide, bones, toys, and other personal items are not allowed during off-leash dog play as these could trigger a dog to dog aggression.

Meanwhile, aside from opening the Paw Park, SM CDO Downtown Premier will also be launching its “Work-from-Mall” campaign today; the mall has converted its movie lounge into a co-working space where you can work.

To help its tenants, SM CDO Downtown Premier is providing its tenants with another venue for them to sell their products aside from their stores and restaurants who have been equally affected by the ongoing pandemic.

Aside from a space where you can work, you can order from these participating stores for your snack meals, and more without even leaving your work station. It’s as easy as 1 2 3.

“First you dine or shop worth P100 (per hour) from participating stores. Second, connect to the free wifi access in the Co-Working Area,” Ditona said.

Participating stores are the following Gong Cha, Hogs & Cattle Steakhouse, Ribs & Bibs, Panagatan, Gerry’s Grill, Classic Savory, Snack Time, Karimadon, Anello, Memo, Bayo, Unica Hija and Una Rosa

Set-up your workstation and enjoy working with comfort. See you at SM CDO Downtown Premier.
