This would have been a 5 rating if not for a dog bite incident where the owner refused to be accountable for her dog biting my dog. We were there for 10 minutes when a large Rhodesian Ridgeback bit my girl as she returned a ball to me. No skin was broken on her back and my girl seemed OK so we moved far out into the park to get away from the biter. Twenty minutes later my dog was returning a ball and the biter appeared and bit again. Look out for this dog if you go there. The woman that owns the Rhodesian Ridgeback said we were not locals and that is why her dog bit my dog. Not a good excuse for bad behavior and no apology. If your dog attacks another dog, you're responsible and accountable period. My next message is going to Coupeville City Hall to ask if an occasional visit from an animal control officer might help remind owners that they're responsible and need to supervise their dogs. Otherwise, this is a fabulous dog park. Go here, your dogs will love it.

When we arrived, there were approximately 3 other dogs there . It's really a large park (and it has a contained area for smaller dogs inside). It was early September and, as such, was dry and dusty. Still, if you didn't have a fenced yard or safe space to let your dog run, I can see how it would be a nice option to have.

True to the Sound, the beach looks different every time we come because of the tides. Each visit is a different experience! While the dog area is off-leash, it can be hard to determine where the dog area stops and starts during a low tide. So, if your pup isn't great at staying with you, then this might be a difficult spot. They also have poop bags and a hosing off station. We love it!!

It makes me worry for my dogs and other dogs because obviously dogs can be very fast, even if you keep an eye on them off leash. That being said, it is a nostalgic and popular spot to socialize my dogs. They have a nice time and get sensory and exposure training. I'm just frustrated about the fencing!!! Please fix it :( On average every time i come here, i promise you that i've seen minimum 1-3 dogs escape through the rocks and i fear for their safety due to cars constantly making U turns in the parking lot near picnic area.

We saw a bald eagle hunt something in the water and bring it to the beach, so it seems good for wildlife watching. The lighthouse is kind of underwhelming because of the size. There's multiple grassy fields and some picnic tables. Some people were flying kites when we were there because of the wind. There's also a dog bag station, which is nice to see at a state park. Regarding the fort, I didn't realize until later that there's an easy path up to the top without needing stairs and/or a steep route. Otherwise, I thought it was tricky going up if I could only use the thin metal ladders. Once at the top, there were multiple points that seemed iffy and unprotected from dropping down.

Garden Footprint…read more 53-acre garden located on Whidby Island that specializes in Rhododendrons and also features a nursery for all your botanical needs. The Good: *Hardly "spendy," as some other reviewers put it, at a meager $5/ea entrance fee (under 16 is free). *You can pay for your entrance fee using Google Pay™ or Apple Pay© *Amazing views of Puget Sound *Keep an eye to the skies, as Bald Eagles are all around. *Gorgeous well-maintained garden *Dog-friendly! Woof! *As mentioned above, it's a self check-in, so you don't really have to talk to anyone the whole time you're there. :) The Meh: *Only ten of the 53 acres are actual gardens, with the rest being woodland trails (we didn't partake). The Ugly: *Mostly Rhododendrons, if they're not your jam, maybe best to skip it. TLDR: Not the biggest or best garden, but def worth the price of admission and a few hours of your time when visiting Whidbey Island.

There was two other big dogs at the park and since my dog is antisocial we went into the small area. If you forgot your dog bags they have you covered, at the entrance there are some free ones. There was so much shade and room to run, my dog loved it. Both sides had benches to sit on. They do have bowls for you to fill with water if it's a hot day. Overall a very nice park.

This dog park is a big open field covered in dirt and wood chips. At the end of a visit, doggy is sure to be covered in mud. And the problem with that is, there is no running water at this park. So not only is it impossible to rinse your pup off after a romp in the mud, there is also no water supply for drinking. Lesson learned on the first trip. But after the first visit, I learned all these things. Now I know what weather I can go to this park and enjoy it, and also that I need to bring my own water for my dog! I would visit this dog park often, and every time we went, my Paizley always found playmates and always had a great time!

It's small, very muddy, no grass, poop left in multiple spots and around a very unfriendly community. My first time experience: I got into the park with my two dogs and already there, were 3 other women with their dogs. Well as my dogs were smelling one of the other dogs, they had their hackles up ( which I understand is sign of excitement, fear, anxiety or aggression). Well in response the women took her dog into the "small dog area". Minutes later the other two women did the same. Afterwards, all of their dogs started barking and lunging at my dogs through the fence as they were trying to smell. I ended up leaving shortly after, since I was shocked on how gross this park was and how unfriendly the owners were of these pups who go there to socialize.

But I did notice, the shopping center next to it has spots and there is a walking path to the dog park from there. Not sure if you there's any restrictions in that lot though. The dog park is separated into 3 sections: Section 1: the small space where you can unleash your dogs in a confined space Section 2: a small dog/shy dog area. Smaller space than the main area. Section 3: the main space where all the dogs are running around. Great space for the pups. It is a dirt lot and even though it was dry yesterday, the pups were still very dirty from their brief visit. I had a lil dog run up to me and it got dirt all over me. I mean, I don't mind. But I can imagine it getting very muddy if it rains. Overall, nice little dog park close to the house.
