RULES TO KEEP IN MIND:
While your dog romps around this off-leash area, you can enjoy the view of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound. Genesee Park (South Seattle) Genesee has a fully-fenced off-leash area with double gates and a doggie drinking fountain. Golden Gardens Park (Ballard) This fenced, off-leash area is located uphill to the east of the beach and includes a natural slope. A nearby restroom provides access to water. I-90 "Blue Dog Pond" (South Seattle) It's a bit muddy in the winter, but there are plenty of high slopes and roaming areas for exercising. The park is fully-fenced and has running water. Luther Burbank Park (Mercer Island) Amenities at Luther Burbank are geared toward families and children. If your family includes a dog, there's an off-leash area at the north end of the park. Marymoor Park (Redmond) Dog nirvana! The off-leash exercise area here includes water access and covers 40 acres, bigger than many neighborhood parks. Northacres Park (North Seattle) The secluded nature of the park offers dogs a quiet, outdoors off-leash area. It features nature trails and Sani-Can for environmentally-friendly poop disposal. Regrade Park (Belltown) At a third of an acre, Regrade Park in Belltown is the smallest of Seattle's nine off-leash parks, and the first one downtown. Sand Point Magnuson Park (Sandpoint) Featuring the city's largest and only off-leash area with beach access, the park includes a shelter with running water so you can rinse the seaweed off your pup. Westcrest Park (White Center) Westcrest has a large off-leash field for the dogs as well as a covered shelter for their human companions. Woodland Park (Wallingford) This off-leash area includes a big hill perfect for ball-chasing exercises (tennis balls are available for use). There's a faucet to provide water for your pooch, but it's turned off in the winter.  |
