Summerlake Dog Park

Cozy little dog park with some nice people and playful dogs. Most owners pay attention to their dogs and react accordingly if dogs become too aggressive. It's small enough to sit down and watch the dogs play without worrying about having to run too far if your dog isn't playing very nice. No human toys!

One of the Best Parks in the Area! Summer Lake Park is truly one of my favorite places to visit — a hidden gem that perfectly balances nature, recreation, and community. The park is beautifully maintained and always clean, making it a pleasure to walk through. The lake itself is stunning, reflecting the sky and trees, and the two bridges add so much charm to the landscape. I love watching the geese, ducks, and other wildlife that call this place home — it feels like stepping into a peaceful nature retreat right in the middle of a lovely neighborhood. There’s something here for everyone: paddleboard courts, a spacious dog park, well-kept soccer and baseball fields, and plenty of walking paths that weave through trees and open fields. Whether you’re here for exercise, family time, or quiet reflection, it’s the perfect setting. The walking trails are wide and scenic, and the park’s design — nestled between beautiful homes — gives it a warm, welcoming feel. It’s a great place to bring a picnic, meet friends, or simply unwind and enjoy the serenity of the lake. Every visit reminds me why Summer Lake Park is such a beloved spot in our community.

Other reviews are including the rest of the park which is really lovely. The ACTUAL dog park in winter is pretty atrocious and I don't think it's much better otherwise unless they open up the lawn area which is locked currently (2/10/2025). It's a fenced dirt/sand area with a covered area to sit, a water spigot, two trash cans. Needless to say, the dirt gets muddy and puddly in winter. People pick up after their dogs, so that's a relief. The rest of the park is beautiful but a leashed area. The park is south facing so it was nice and sunny the day I was there. There's parking in a medium size lot.

I cant say enough good things about this park. Birds, squirrels, geese, all sorts of wildlife. Plenty of room for a walk around two ponds with a bridge in the middle. Like Pokemon Go? Nice place to play the game. Basketball, tennis, soccer areas and covered areas for family get togethers and BBQ's. Bathrooms and benches and dog park too! This park is great for everyone.

Our dog really loves this off-leash park. Even though he is a Vizsla, he enjoys acting like a Retriever. And there are tons of tennis balls lying around which he loves searching for. Summer Lake City Park itself is wonderful since you really feel like you are on a forest path winding around the trees and up to the lake. And the Fall colors are just breathtaking!
