Dogs will be banned from all gated children's areas and must be kept on a lead on pathways after an east London council approved new rules under a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
The move, by Tower Hamlets council, follows several attacks by dogs since 2023, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
Councillor Shafi Ahmed said the council knew the majority of dog owners were responsible and their animals posed no risk of harm.
However, he added, "several high-profile incidents" led to residents expressing concern about dangerous dogs, particularly about risks to young children.
Tower Hamlets has the eighth highest crime reports relating to dog attacks out of all 32 London boroughs. Tower Hamlets will join neighbouring boroughs Newham and Hackney, which have had dog control PSPOs in place for many years.
According to internal police data, there were 92 dog attack crime reports in the borough between April and October 2024.
