After the updates, the small dog park is now much bigger and longer, so dogs actually have a place…read moreto run. However, it's usually used up by bigger dogs as a private space. There's now a cement walkway all the way down through the park, plus more covered areas and trash cans than before. I wish they had kept more of the grass because it seems harsh for 99% of the park to be gravel and sand. It's also disappointing they got rid of the wooden play structure by the grassy area, but they kept the platform by one of the entrances.

When I ran middle distance in track and field for Shorewood High School in the spring of 2007, the…read morearea that is now Shoreview Park Off-Leash Dog Area (or Shoreview Off Leash Park) was a meadow. We ran on the trails abutting the space for practice and had fun spotting the occasional grazing deer or scurrying chickaree (North American red squirrel). We all wanted the meadow to stay or go a more nature way, however urban development/urban sprawl quickly ensued and in a few years the meadow was replaced with an off-leash dog park. The track and field at Shoreline Community College I used for walking when earning my associate degree there (graduated June 2010), however that space now serves as a parking lot for the college. Hence, if one wants a flattened area for walking near the college, the dog park is conveniently located neighboring the campus. On a side of the off-leash area towards the trail system of Shoreview Park, Hidden Lake, and Boeing Creek Park is an entrance with rules posted and park closing time of day communicated (at dusk), as of Thursday 7 September 2023. I used to walk dog(s) down by Hidden Lake, we enjoyed watching the ducks swimming in the lake. However, in the past couple years the lake has been filled in, hence no more watching the ducks in the lake. Sad that more and more space is being taken away from the wildlife, but it is just the way of the city these days.

Things to do near Seattle…read more Richmond Beach Saltwater Park is a popular spot for walking, hiking, tide pooling (best at low tide) and wildlife viewing with views of the Olympic Mountains. It is generally not ideal for swimming since the water in Puget Sound remains consistently ice-cold year-round. There's also shore crabs, hermit crabs, sea anemones, barnacles, sea cucumbers, and sea slugs. It's a 40-acre park on Puget Sound. There are no lifeguards on site. There's a footbridge crossing railroad tracks to reach the beach. The park is dog-friendly and offers both upper bluff and lower beach areas, some rocky with large cobble on the north side. There is parking available ( the one closest to beach fills up fast) with 2 other free upper parking lots. Restrooms are available.

This is an amazing piece of nature. This park has an off-leash dog area, picnic tables, a…read moreplayground, washrooms, trails, and of course the beach and the water! I went during one of the lowest tides of the year, and I saw a lot of sea life. I saw sea cucumbers, sea stars, fish, countless sea anemones, etc. On the walk back, I even saw a ginormous moon snail. There were incredible views of the water and sand. It's super refreshing to relax here. Do note that you have to climb a fenced overpass across some railroad tracks, so if you're nervous about heights, don't look down! The washrooms here weren't well stocked with soap when I visited, but it might be because of the sheer volume of visitors. Multiple car parks were full. It's great to see that everyone is so interested in nature!

There are about 4 different…read moreareas for the dogs to check out(a little hill, some back paths for the shy dogs, lanes for throwing a ball and then some paths with a mound of bark chips to play in/on). Truth be told it is the perfect size for me and my best friend. He is always within sight, and doesn't have the space to roam that a larger park offers, which means less chasing when it's time to go. Being a smaller park it may be hard to find solitude if your dog prefers to spend his/her time sniffing and claiming things. Expect your pup to meet lots of new friends who will want to play!

My bigger concern was safety for small dogs. During our visit, a larger dog chased one of my smaller dogs and began nipping at it. While I understand dogs will interact and play, the situation was unsafe and the owner wasn't able to intervene and control their dog. The beach itself has potential, but between the lack of cleanup and our negative experience with an uncontrolled dog, we won't be returning.

Here's the thing - I don't like dog parks in general. I think they are a hotbed of bad behavior (human and dog) and pretty risky all around. Dogwood is different. The rules are enforced - (look at the other ratings, the negative ones are from ages ago. Maybe they improved?) - there are staff and "regulars" all over the place, keeping eyes on behavior and monitoring sizes, barking, play, etc. They require spay/neuter, which automatically helps keep things calmer. Being able to grab a cider and a snack and watch my pup play is SO cool! The people (guests and staff) were friendly, and more importantly, so were the dogs! Max made some great friends, and his energy was appreciated and not scolded! (He's not quite two. He's energetic, but not aggressive or reactive.) They request that people not bring treats or personal toys into the play area, and this really does cut down on resource guarding and similar behavior. They told me they wash/sterilize the balls every night, and that made me feel good. This is Max's new favorite place!! My partner and I plan on at least once/week outings here!!!!

There were only a few things we didn't love about this park. It is right next to I-5, so the loud busy highway is right there.
