It’s tiny, and it’s wedged between busy downtown streets, but a third dog park is soon to open in Baltimore — a joint effort of The Downtown Partnership and the city.

It’s only a tenth of an acre — bounded by Fayette Street, Park Avenue, Baltimore and Liberty streets, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Once opened, possibly in a matter of weeks, it will be the third area in Baltimore where dogs are legally permitted to be off leash. The other two are Canton Dog Park and Locust Point Dog Park, which opened last month.

“We saw the need,” Bob Dengler, the Downtown Partnership’s vice president of capital projects, told the Sun. “Even before this area was fenced in, people were already walking their dogs there.”

Between dog friendly apartments, and a pet-friendly hotel — the Hotel Monaco, which recently opened two blocks away — the downtown area has seen a surge in residents, both human and canine.

The city is also working on creating off-leash areas at four parks — Patterson, Riverside. Wyman and Herring Run — most of which will  be in designated parts of the parks during designated morning and evening hours.

The city’s transportation department built the fence and installed a ramp to make the park accessible to the handicapped, while the Downtown Partnership paid for the fence and will maintain the park.
