About the Game

Desktop Dog Park is a idle game that lives at the bottom of your screen. It stays running while you do other things, letting you check in on your dogs whenever you want.

Build your own dog park, unlock different breeds, place decorations, and earn coins over time. You can toss a ball, refill food and water bowls, or hire an attendant so the dogs are always taken care of.

It’s simple, relaxing, and easy to keep open all day. Upgrade the park when you feel like it, then go right back to whatever you were doing.
