Portland's dog off-leash areas
Portland Parks & Recreation runs more than 30 dog off-leash areas. A handful are fenced dog parks, such as Normandale Park Dog Park, Hazeldale Dog Park, PCC Rock Creek Dog Park, Chimney Park Dog Park, Gabriel Park Dog Park and more. Most are open, unfenced parts of a neighborhood park, like Laurelhurst Park and Fernhill Park, where your dog needs to come back when called. Everywhere else in the city's parks, dogs must be on a leash and stay off sports fields and out of fountains and ponds (Portland Parks & Recreation).
A few rules are worth knowing before you go:
- Several off-leash areas next to schools, such as Arbor Lodge, Creston and Couch Park, close to dogs on school days from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Mt. Tabor is open to off-leash dogs only from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Gabriel Park in Southwest Portland has a summer area and a winter area that take turns.
- Carry a leash, bring no more than three dogs, and keep your dog's license and rabies tag current. Leash and scoop violations can cost up to $150.
Beyond the city
The Sandy River Delta, also called Thousand Acres, sits where the Sandy River meets the Columbia near Troutdale. It is run by the U.S. Forest Service and has meadows, woods and river beaches where dogs can be off leash under control. Each car needs a day pass or an annual pass (U.S. Forest Service).
West of the city, the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District runs fenced dog parks in and around Beaverton, among them Hazeldale Dog Park, Winkelman Park Dog Park, PCC Rock Creek Dog Park and more. They are open from dawn to dusk.
After the park, find a dog-friendly café or a brewery with a dog-friendly patio.
