Willamette Park Off-Leash Area

About the dog park

• Open daily, 5 a.m.–10 p.m.

Off-leash area along the west edge of riverside Willamette Park. The city plans to move it to an open area at the park's north end.

Rules

In Portland's city parks, dogs must be on a leash except inside a designated off-leash area, and they stay leashed on the way in and out. In the off-leash area, carry a leash, keep your dog in sight and under voice control, stop it from digging and bring no more than three dogs. Dogs need a current license and rabies tag, and you must pick up after your dog. Dogs are not allowed on sports fields and courts or in water features, several off-leash areas near schools close to dogs on school days from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and leash and scoop violations can cost up to $150.

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
