Magnuson Off-Leash Dog Park

Volunteer Work Party at Magnuson Dog Park!

Join us this Saturday from 9 AM to 12 PM for a volunteer work party at Magnuson Dog Park. Our main task will be to remove foxtails along the fence line, helping to keep our park safe and beautiful for all our furry friends!

Why Foxtails Are a Problem:
Foxtails are more than just pesky weeds; they can be dangerous for dogs. The barbed seed heads can easily get caught in a dog’s fur and burrow into their skin, ears, nose, or paws, causing pain and potential infections. By removing foxtails, we are protecting our dogs from these hazards.

What to Bring:

• Gloves (we’ll provide water for all volunteers)

Your help makes a big difference in maintaining our wonderful community space. We hope to see you there! RSVP Below!

I just got this message regarding the previous dog theft attempts,
“Hi - I am not sure if this is related, but I wanted to share a suspicious encounter that happened yesterday 7/1 at around 10am at the waterfront. There was a man standing in the brush on the other side of the fence (beside the fallen tree) squeaking a ball trying to draw dogs to him. Both our golden and a husky went right to him. Because of these warnings, we immediately called our dog and went towards the man. He disappeared and we didn’t see him again.”
Have fun but stay alert everyone!

Hey everyone! Please keep your dogs in your vision. Yesterday and today there have been children leashing dogs and trying to take them out of the park. Yesterday someone was in the restroom and they actually got out of the park but the dog had a tracker and was found near the baseball fields.

Hi Everyone!
At this point in time Parks and Recreations has no new information on opening up the parking due to the Corona virus. As soon as we receive info we will let everyone know. Our furries need their friends.

As of Tuesday, May 5, some outdoor recreation will be allowed with appropriate safety precautions including: fishing; hunting; playing golf; day use at state parks, state public lands managed by the Department of Natural Resources and at state Fish and Wildlife areas. Some parks may not open immediately due to impacts on rural communities and the potential for crowding. State Parks is working with local communities and its partners to determine the best approach and timing to reopening these areas. Visitor centers, camping and other overnight accommodations on state-managed lands will remain closed. Visitors, anglers and hunters should only venture out well-prepared. The public should expect limited access to restrooms. WDFW is also recommending that people bring their own handwashing materials, toilet paper and masks or bandanas and be prepared to change plans if sites appear congested.

More information:
▶️ From Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife: https://wdfw.wa.gov/news/wdfw-open-some-recreational-fishing-and-hunting-starting-tuesday-may-5

▶️ From the Governor's Office: https://medium.com/wagovernor/inslee-announces-easing-of-outdoor-restrictions-8ed2c3d62050

Any additional relaxing of outdoor recreation restrictions will depend on data and compliance.

The governor outlined the following guidelines:
✔️ Anyone exhibiting any cold or flu-like symptoms should not participate in these activities.
✔️ People must limit their partners in recreational activities to only those who live within a household unit.
✔️ Use face coverings where social distancing is not possible.
✔️ People must recreate locally and continue to limit unnecessary travel. Overnight trips remain prohibited. Bringing your own food and supplies when possible will also help reduce exposure.
