Thurston County Off-Leash Dog Park

I love this place, I bring my dogs here any time I’m using the highway as it’s super close to it and it’s such a convenient and worthy stop when traveling with dogs. It’s pretty big and there aren’t usually very many people there, at least when I’ve been (this is a plus for me, some people prefer a lot of other dogs to play with, I do not). The signs in the parking lot give me anxiety as they warn against car break-ins, but I’ve not had a problem yet. There’s water available for the dogs, places to sit, and 2 separate fenced areas for big and small dogs. The only downside I can think of is that there is very little shade and if it’s been raining the big dog side becomes somewhat of a mud pit, but I couldn’t care less, the convenience of the location and the low traffic makes this a 10/10 for me.

This is a large facility located at the entrance of the regional landfill / recycling center. There are two large play areas. The small dog / puppy pen is about an acre in size. The large dog area is about five acres. The large dog area has multiple watering stations, trash cans, and picnic tables. There is rarely an aggressive dog, but the do attend. Get your dog off its leash as soon as possible. The entry / exit pens are the best place to do this. Owners are required to clean up after their animal, but it's obvious some simply don't care. It's OK to take shy, timid, and old dogs into the small dog pen. I've seen a surprising number of small children on the play field. I suggest caution as I've seen adults plowed over by oblivious playing ,/ running dogs. If you found this review to be helpful please consider adding a thumbs up 👍

Not a very hospitable place. No trees, no grass, two picnic tables, and that's it... Large fenced area dvided into two sections for small vs. large dogs. Water is provided for dogs; Porta-potty for humans. Not very many dogs there except on the weekends.

A great place with plenty of room for dogs to exercise, run and play. Water is provided for them and so is a large honeybucket for people including handicap accessibility. There's also a trailhead right there to view various types of plants. ☆ DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES UNATTENDED IN YOUR VEHICLES!! I saw numerous places in the parking lot with piles of glass fragments from vehicles that had been broken into! Watch your backs!!

Love this place! Had fun interacting with others and their dogs. Nice that it has separate areas for small and large dogs and its kept clean and has bags to pick up after your dog (and everyone was using them thankfully). A water station and a few picnic tables. I will visit again for sure.
