Burien Off Leash Dog Park

This park is huge, has obstacles to learn and run on. Also large areas to sniff and play. Many dogs here and there’s a hose! Yes, a hose! Plenty of parking and lots of off street parking. It’s in a residential neighborhood so it’s safe if they happen to get out, little traffic. Great place! Nice of Toyota and Chevrolet to fund this off leash dog park. There’s also a playground away from dog area for the kids to play too!

I love bringing my dog to the green space right outside of this park to do training in the vacinity of other dogs. Today we had a small scare where someone's dog was interested in us and pushed right through the gate nearest the agility equipment. Not the entrance gate but a gate that is supposed to remain shut at all times. Luckily I called out to the owner who quickly handled their dog but this could be so dangerous allowing dogs to escape. It looks like there is a post that should go into the ground but it does not, allowing it to rotate and the other side of the gate to push right through the fixed latch. I'm not sure who manages this park but we would love to have this fixed!

It’s a fine little dog park in many respects. In particular, it has an amazing madrone tree, which I’m surprised at how it is thriving, with dogs peeing on it and digging around its roots. As you are in the dusty, dirty little dog park, you look out at a green space several times larger than the corner allotted for dogs. The rest of the park has nice green grass and pleasant landscaping, and the dogs are not allowed there. And no one is using that space. It would be a much better dog park if the dogs could spread out and have more room to run, and actual green grass. Although it is a find dog park in most respects, I give it only one star because it has fox tails, a weed that has barbs that can break off and embed themselves in your dog’s feet, nose, and ears. One of the barbs attached to my dog, but I got it off before it burrowed under the skin. Fax tails can be a real problem. There is no excuse for allowing them at a dog park.

Big dog park always packed an average of 20 to 30 dogs. The open space is muddy after a rainy day , barely any grass and the wooded hill areas are hard to keep an eye on the dogs to clean up after them.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HATE YOUR DOG. The large & small dog areas are infested with foxtails. There are foxtails everywhere! This entire park is covered with massive fields of foxtails which are just waiting to go in your dog's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, in their paws, in their skin, etc. Absolutely 100% unsafe.
