Nestlé Purina Petcare has opened Mexico’s first Purina Pet Park just north of Mexico City.

The park offers a range of attractions specially designed for dogs, such as agility games and areas to play Frisbee. The Parque Purina inauguration comes shortly after Nestlé announced plans to open a new petfood factory in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato in the first half of 2015. The CHF200 million (US$220.6 million) factory project is part of a five-year investment of CHF900 million (US$992.7 million) in the country, according to Nestlé.
