Magnuson Off-Leash Dog Park

Magnuson Park’s off-leash area is by far the largest, most popular and most widely used off-leash area in Seattle.
(268)

The Magnuson off-leash area contains 8.4 acres. It is a place where city hounds can romp with buddies in Seattle’s biggest fully-fenced back yard for canines. This off-leash area is the only one inside city limits with water access (Lake Washington’s freshwater shoreline). The site has a large, generally flat play area, a winding trail with several open areas and changes of scenery along the way,

and it gives dog owners and their dogs of all ages plenty of space to “work out”. Most of the trail is compact gravel and is wheelchair accessible. This off-leash area has a small and shy dog area within the larger dog park. Fencing and signs were installed in coordination with the Magnuson Off Leash Area Group (MOLG). The small/shy dog area is located just to the south of the main entrance kiosk, accessible from NE 74th street.

Pets go missing during the July 4th weekend more than any other time of year! Do your part to keep your dog safe and comfortable during this time. It’s a great day to come blow off steam at Magnuson to prep for a calm evening at home during the fireworks.

From all of us at Magnuson Dog Park, Have a safe and happy holiday!

Happy Howlidays from all of us at Magnuson Dog Park!

While we’re busy decorating and celebrating, it’s important to remember that our furry friends have their own needs and safety to consider.

Here are some tips to help keep your dog safe and happy this Holiday season!

❤️Dangerous Decorations
Keep tinsel, ornaments, and wires out of reach to prevent chewing or choking.

💚All is Calm
With all the excitement, give your pup a quiet spot to relax when things get busy.

❤️Stay Active
Even in cold weather, make time for indoor games or short walks to burn off energy.

💚Harmful Foods
Don’t share holiday treats like chocolate, grapes, or onions. Stick to dog-safe snacks!

We hope you all have a safe and joyful holiday.

Thank you for your continued support!
