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.
(266)

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.

You may have seen a Parvovirus exposure warning posted at our park.
The notice highly reccomends checking that your dog’s Parvo vaccines are up to date. Puppies are more vulnerable, though immunity in vaccinated adult dogs can decrease after three years.

If your dog is showing signs of Parvovirus such as Lethargy, Loss of Appetite, Vomiting, Severe Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain, Fever or Hypothermia: Immediately contact your veterinarian.

Thank you to Veterinatian for posting the notice and to the community for bringing this to our attention. Let’s do everything we can to keep our dogs safe.

It’s always a good idea to check bacteria levels before entering a swimming beach to prevent illness! Foxtails are a common danger for dogs that ate important to stay aware of! These two graphics will be posted at our park soon as a reminder for everyone. 🐕

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.

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!
