This dog park is amazing! The space is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for letting my pup run off-leash. There are plenty of shaded areas and benches for owners, and it’s obvious that the staff cares about safety. My dog made so many new friends, and I love the community vibe here. Highly recommend

I've taken my daily walk here for over a decade, like many other regulars. It's much larger than most folks are aware. There are beautiful walks and hikes. Athletic fields are popular and well maintained.

Beautiful place to visit on a sunny and warm day, with clear skies. Crystal clear views of Mt.Rainier, and lots of space to host a picnic and absorb the breathtaking scenery. Highly recommend coming here on a holiday during the summer or whenever you can take time off.

This place is wonderful. We are so lucky to have it in the city. I imagine this is why so many residents take ownership in unusual ways. Expect anything. From dog walkers to weekenders and tourists. You'll see full families with toddlers running around to highly disciplined working dogs. I love visiting to improve my knowledge about dog behavior and body language as well as catch up with dog frien...
