I think this is my 108th dog park. We travel extensively and enjoy getting him out to run…read more What the Agate Dog Park (run by the city of Newport, Oregon) has, or doesn't have: NO DOUBLE GATES (worth less "stars") A tiny hidden gate in back corner (check it!) NO WATER (people bring water) Fenced Bags provided Trash (on the outside, reachable from inside) One bench Lots of parking Bathrooms next door in park?? ...... What my thoughts are after 1.5 hrs watching who came and went. (When I left three young folks entered in the back gate w/ no dog. No biggie, but I don't want them not closing the gate, or not understanding dog park rules.) BEWARE of the main entrance gate as it's a SINGLE gate. It's less than half a block from busy Hwy 101 so an escapee could mean death. You couldn't pay me enough to go here when my dog was a puppy as he would bolt out the gate just to be a punk. Today: When I arrived on Saturday morning, mid-July at 10:30am there was a small gathering. Two dogs came over and looked happy to play. When we got closer the older, blond German Shepherd started snarling and barking (ie: "this is my back yard, I dare you to come in" teeth showing). The white 7 mo old puppy next to it was NO PROBLEM. I've learned that ANY odd feelings at a dog park should be listened to. We backed up and I popped my dog in the back of the 4Runner. One man (not shepherd owner, of course) was nice and approached to say he has never seen that dog attack. I said, "No worries I just listen to my gut, and I don't need problems traveling". I told him/them I got bit by a big dog at dog park the week before (true), and just don't need to go there. (Two people "vouched" for the dog that bit me saying he had never bit anyone either. Weird #%$& happens.) The older, disengaged lady w/ the snarling dog leashes up the German Shepherd and took him out to her minivan. I got the sense that she would only deal with her dog IF someone pushes back. She was annoyed. I have no patience for people who make others wonder like that. To make this clear: I know dogs who snarl at fences but, are fine when you come in. I also know the owners of THOSE dogs immediately go over and deal with it to make others comfortable coming in. (And guess what? The dogs STOP doing it because the handlers took the time to deal with it.). Anyone with a high profile breed such as a German Shepherd, IMO, should immediately deal with it, they should not wait for others to speak up. What else don't they handle well? I don't want to think that hard, and I want my dog and I to leave in one piece. German Shepherds are the number one breed at my home dog park. I know them as well as any breed. It's my first time here, doubt I'll be back, but here is what I think the deal is: It's a small neighborhood park with mainly regulars who gather so that the people can talk. What that means is there is not much milling around, and dogs get territorial. Dog acting up? WALK FIVE FEET. Got a lawn chair? Pick it up and move it, sit back down. It's EASY. Cake walk, people. I find there are more problems with dog behavior at parks when people sit and talk. And new blood (new dogs) at dog park always helps, IMO, but "little known dog parks" such as this one don't get much new blood. When you move 5 feet I see dogs probably thinking of saying this to another dog: "Hey, I was just about to kick your a$$, but hang on a second - my human is moving. Okay, so I'm done moving over here now. Uh.....what was I going to do?" They forget what they were doing. You don't always have to move a lot, but on those days that dogs are acting weird? Say to the person you are talking to "hey, follow me over here so we can keep talking (and I can watch my dog)". I just have a small dog who German Shepherds love to chase (been there, done that), I'm traveling and do not need my dog being injured and finding a local vet. In addition, I got bit by an Australian Shepherd last week at a Washington state dog park so my luck is maxed out. (Fireworks probably agitated that dog who snuck up behind me as I did nothing wrong.) Newport dog parks are fond of single gates. I already sent an inquiry asking for a padlock on the Wilder dog park tractor gate constantly left open. "See something, say something." I'm giving this dog park a 2 star because I think it's one of those "people sit and talk, dogs get territorial" parks, and the SINGLE GATE situation. Ugh. One guy went out and then stood there with the gate open. Must be nice to have a breed you can trust (or dig us old)....but I don't. I seek out fenced dog parks for a reason.

There are thoughtful amenities throughout, including water stations, shaded seating, picnic tables, and even covered shelters for those rainy Oregon days. One of my favorite features is the walking trail inside the fenced area, so you can get your own exercise in while your pup explores.
