A very unique area for nature seekers, the park is great for companions and people with wheels! I came to the park in its initial stages and the park definitely has expanded.

Great off-leash dog park. Fully fenced-I checked. I've been to a lot of dog parks in the Seattle metro area and have never seen one with asphalt trails. The off-leash area has an “all dog” park and a “small dog” park. Plenty of parking. The park has a lot of trees and a decent open play area, although for our furry friends everything is a play area (:

Swan Creek Dog Park is one of my favorite places to bring my pups. It’s usually quiet and not too crowded, which makes it a relaxing spot compared to busier parks. Most of the dog owners here are very responsible and friendly, so it feels like a respectful community where dogs (and people) can enjoy themselves. The only drawback is the parking lot—it can sometimes feel a little sketchy, as there’s occasional homeless presence or drug activity around the edges. That said, I’ve found that if you park close to the gates, it feels safe and secure. Overall, this is a great park if you’re looking for a calm, friendly environment for your dog to play and explore.

Lovely nature focused dog park. Lots of little side paths and plenty of trees which means lots of sticks. Well maintained, had free poop bags and trashcan, and restrooms. Well gated and peaceful.

Add this to the list of favorite parks in South Sound! Multiple double-gated entries, waste bags, trash cans, water fountain for the doggos, and restrooms for their humans. Level, paved pathways for humans through mixed terrain for the pups. Enjoy great sight-lines while getting to walk/roll in more than just a loop. Open wood chipped areas for fetch and play; wooded areas for snooting-about. A separate fenced area for small/shy pups that is as beautiful as the larger area for all dogs. Lots of trees, frequent benches, and the kind of neighborhood feel you would expect, given this new park’s history. Time will tell whether the drainage was also well-planned and users take care of this gem!
