Off the lead or on it
Where a dog may run free is set by a generally binding ordinance of the City of Ostrava. In designated dog runs it's always fine; elsewhere follow the signs: in many places a dog must be on a lead, and it may not enter playgrounds and sandpits at all. Before you let your dog off in a park, look at the sign by the entrance or on your city district's website.
