Partially fenced off leash dog park that is bigger than it appears. Has shadded trails and a large sunny field. I would not recommend this park for dogs with bad recall (unless they are leashed) as there are several openings that lead onto neighborhood streets. Trail is almost 3/4 of a mile. One of the park neighbor's is nice enough to put out jugs of water for the dogs but it never hurts to bring your own just in case. Always lots of doggy friends to play with. Park could use more garbage cans... Only one and its located at the front of the park.

Awesome off leash, partially fenced in dog area. Lots of space to run. Safe and tucked away in the end of the neighborhood in a dead end of the street. The park has a long stretch of grassy land to play safe away from the road. Lots of tree cover, benches, trails, water bowls all around. Beautiful park, especially in the fall with all the colors and contrasts. All the pups seem friendly and well behaved. Lots of street parking. Will absolutely be back again.

Pros: - HUGE area - Trail around the entire park (dirt) - Grass with some dirt patches (mostly grass) - Tree/Forresty area - A bench on each end - Water (people bring it, so sort of a con as well, as it’s not a hose or spigot) - Plentiful and lush salad buffet throughout - Clean Cons: - Half fenced, both entrances on each side are not fenced, along with one in the center. Leads to dead end roads in neighborhood. - One trash can (at the front) - Possible coyotes

I love it here! However Portland parks and recreation recently has laid down thick bark chips that have made this park almost completely inaccessible for me as a wheelchair user. I used to love this park now I can't go through it at all, I've contacted the city and will delete this post if it is fixed

Very big dog park with leash and non-leash areas. Goes in very deep from the street. Even during rush hour it is nice and quiet.
