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.

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...
