Seattle is home to a wide variety of parks, and although you need to keep your dog leashed in most of them, there are many fenced off-leash areas within these spaces. There, you can let your dog run without their leash, meet other dogs, and practice your recall commands.
Here are 14 of our favorite off-leash dog parks in Seattle to help you decide where to go next. Remember to respect your fellow dog owners by cleaning up after your dog and making sure any gates are shut before you leave.
A 1-acre off-leash area built on a slope, with separate spaces for big and small dogs.
Offers plenty of room for dogs to wander, but not so much that you can’t keep up.
Only one trash can is provided for dog waste, and there are no waste bags available.
There is water provided at the park, but the fountains might be turned off during cold weather.
The park also has community dog toys and plenty of tree cover for shade on hot days.
Conclusion
Although it’s fun to walk through a beautiful park with your loyal friend at your side, it’s even better when you get the chance to let them freely chase after a ball or frisbee. Seattle is no stranger to dog-friendly off-leash areas, which range in size from tiny neighborhood spots to huge, wooded areas that dogs will love to explore. Remember to bring a leash so you can keep your dog under control outside of the designated areas, to make the trip pleasant for everyone.
