Woof, woof! The next time that you are thinking of taking your dog out for a walk, how about heading down to Jurassic Bark, Changi Airport’s dog run and butterfly trail.
Jurassic Bark is located a short distance outside of Changi Airport Terminal 2. It is around 350 metres away from Hub & Spoke, which also has a pet friendly dining spot.
In fact, if you are walking from Terminal 2 in the direction of Terminal 4, along the Changi Airport Connector, you will reach the Jurassic Bark area just after passing by the entrance to Changi Airport’s VIP Complex.
What is Jurassic Bark at Changi Airport
Jurassic Bark is a section of the Changi Airport Connector that has been converted into a dog run area and an outdoor butterfly trail.
The Changi Airport Connector already has a dinosaur theme. This can be seen with the various statues of dinosaurs that line that path.
Jurassic Bark riffs off that theme and you will even come across cut-outs of friendly and cute looking dinosaurs walking their dogs. That’s how you can be sure that you are reaching the dog run area.
Dog Run
The Jurassic Bark dog run is 200 square metres in size. It is the first dog run in a Southeast Asian airport.
Surrounding trees provide a measure of shade for those who are making use of the free dog run. There are also log benches where dog owners can take a seat while the pooches play free inside the dog run.
The log benches are repurposed from old Khaya trees that once stood at the area where the Jurassic Bark now stands.
Another interesting thing to note is that the dog run is open 24 hours a day. This means that it can be visited late into the evening or even in the early hours of the morning.
Butterfly Trail
Just next to the dog run is the a 100 metre long butterfly trail.
There is a gravel and stone slab path where you can walk the dogs (on a leash).
The trail has also been planted with flowering shrubs that attract butterflies. If you are taking a walk along the free outdoor butterfly trail, you may be able to spot the fluttering insects as they fly around the plants in search of nectar.
