Viking Park, Off-leash Dog Park

What a fantastic space to bring your dog and hike short trails. We met other dogs and they were great, such a great experience for our Dane! Will definitely be back! Just note that there isn’t a parking lot so you’ll need to park on the street.

Went there today to check it out! Easy to find. Parking you do have to walk a little bit to get to the entrance of the dog park. Right at the entrance there are rules for the park. As you enter it is double gated. The first gate has its latch, the second one doesn't. As I was entering with my dog, a smaller dog went right under the gate to greet mine while we were still entering. There is some seating inside and outside the park to enjoy some time to talk with others. There is no agility equipment for dogs, but some of the tree roots and trees that have gone over make up for that. There is a decent size area where you can play ball with your dog in. Oh and if you are looking to teach your dog to go hiking with you on trails, the trails around the park are perfect for that. Lots of logs to go over, hills to go up and down, even some strep stairs. There was also water and water dishes available for dogs while they played. It is also very well shaded that you don't have to worry about how long you stay there. People that might have a mobile disability this might be a park not to visit as there is a bunch of terrain. All people and their dogs were all really nice and friendly.

We decided to stop by this park on our way to Mt. Rainier. The first thing to note is that it has a slope, which is good for energetic dogs. The second thing to note is that it is an all-size dog park; there is no separate zone for smaller dogs. The park is covered in trees and blackberry bushes, and it offers lots of trails. If you walk along the perimeter, you'll come across a sign that says, 'Danger Steep Slope.' I suggest taking it seriously, as I nearly slipped in my sneakers.

We are visiting from out of state and our dogs loved perusing this facility. Clean of excrement, and has several poopy bag dispensers. Our dogs are seniors, and like to take it slow, so it was nice that they have wide trails to walk down. The entire park is fenced, and goes way farther than the entrance would indicate. And our girl had fun trying to dig up a root, lol! Should we find ourselves in this area again, we would definitely return.

This is a really great park. My dogs love it everytime we come here. It's a wooded park that has a bench and two tables for sitting on your phone while the dogs play....haha but really we all know that we do. For those of you that don't want to just sit there is a short little trail that goes around the park, not much but if you want to take your dog to the woods this place works too. There are lots of little trails that lead back to the main trail that my dogs just had a blast running through. There are a few cool hidden treasures here too, just open your eyes to find them.
