This place is huge. Nearby restrooms are clean. The walking areas are well maintained. The terrain is diverse and there is plenty of shaded areas. Parking is usually easy. We've been to dogs parks all over Pierce, King and Thurston counties and this is our favorite!

My favorite dog park. Beau loves coming here! A LOT OF ROOM FOR YOU AND YOUR PUPS!!! Beau loves interacting with other dogs, and chasing the ball. There has always been water under the cover for all the active ones.

This park is so massive there could be a full parking lot and there is still plenty of space to play with your pup. There's a pavilion, a few benches, some trees and open spaces, and a little agility course. Personally, I haven't had any issues with aggressive dogs. But the park is so big it's really easy to stay away from other dogs and people if that is a concern.

Best dog park in the area. I have rarely had a negative experience here, majority of the dog owners are responsible and aware. There is a very good energy here and lots of space. 10/10 would recommend.

This dog Park has three separate areas for small/shy dogs, medium, and large dogs. Water sources, great maintained and polite and respectful dog owners! Trails, and a cooling walk around Lake Wauhop!
