One of the perks of living in the neighborhood is the Beaver Lake Dog Park…read more It is fully fenced and has large-dog and small-dog separate areas. The large dog park is thickly covered in wood chips in the open areas, and the back 1/3 side is heavily shaded by trees and easily walkable for those hot full sun days and for good 'texture'. If you have one of those ball throw tools, you're not going to run out of distance with your best throw. The small dog side is slightly smaller and features a gravel/dirt and grass field. There are some passages into a small stand of trees/bushes. Doggie water fountains and pooper scooper bags available in each section. There are well established wooded trails to either side which lead to the lakefront section of the park: about a half mile round trip. The people are friendly and dog conflicts rare. (Personal hint: if you have a troublesome dog, put a muzzle on them before taking them out in public or to any park: the dog really won't mind. You can always remove it). On-site parking is good except for the rare little league tournaments, as the 3 ballfields and well-appointed playground share the park/parking. There's even street overflow parking. (I saw one review of a water-borne illness: that review is over 10 years old and there's no regular standing water in the dog park for years)

i'd only recently discovered this dog park and began going around one to two times a week for the…read morepast few weeks, as i work in the area and it's a nice reprieve for my puppy after she's spent long hours in my office. it's clean and expansive, split into an area for small dogs, an area for large dogs, and a grassy hill that overlooks a pond--it's very lovely. the people have always been great too. they're very friendly and kind, and the park is always clean. i've really enjoyed it. however, ever since day one, i've noticed an older guy bringing his dog in who is not well-socialized with other dogs. (chances are, if you're there and you're hearing a dog snap or snarl at another dog, and its a medium-sized shorthair, tan coat, it's his). at first i looked the other way because my puppy's interactions were few and far between, and what little snips and snarls this dog did at her were at the very least good learning experiences: some dogs aren't your friends, some can be dangerous, learn to read the signs. but this guy kept showing up. every time i was there, with this dog. and he never intervened, never showed any interest in demonstrating a single correction. the time before this, when he showed up, i left as soon as i saw him because i didn't want to deal with. this time however he was already there, and i figured i'd just hang out for a bit and try to keep my puppy away from his dog. things were fine for the most part until the end. my puppy walked by this dog, where it was chewing on a green soccer ball, and this dog snarled and lunged after her with its teeth bared, the left side of its muzzle too close to her flank. this wasn't okay. this wasn't a playful action. a bystander made a joke, but my dog looked scared. i was enraged. i looked at the guy but he just smirked at me, no acknowledgment of how f'ed up that was. as i was leaving i told him that wasn't cool. he told me that i better watch out because he lived there, and his dog was just playing, and he didn't even know who i was, he'd never even seen me before, etc. (we'd literally had a handful of face-to-face conversations before this incident, he'd asked me my dogs name a couple weeks before, i was very confused by this), and he took no ownership over the fact that his dog's posture and vocalizations were demonstrably not playful or friendly. just a warning to visitors to this park: if you see a heavy, ruddy-faced white guy in shorts, wearing a hoodie with a punisher logo patch on the right sleeve (because of course there's a punisher logo somewhere), a baseball cap, carrying a Chuckit!, and driving a sedan, and he has a tan short-hair medium sized dog with him (google "american dingo"), i recommend that you either leave or check to see if your insurance covers aggressive dog bites.

When it is sunny, I take advantage of the weather and head here and it seems like a lot of people do the same. I appreciate everyone here being so nice and welcoming, offering to let me the ins-and-outs of the place, showing me the main area as well as the small dog area, and the amount of fixtures the dogs can play on at this park. Only downside is that the parking lot for the big dog area is a little small but seems like most people park on the street or in the small-dog lot of need be. Can't wait to come here during the summer and meet more furry friends!

There are many entrances along the perimeter from the park or the Greenbelt Trails. I recommend using the entrance from the parking lot on SW Cloverdale & 5th Ave Sw. The Off-Leash area was closed for half a year to improve irrigation. The outcome created the gravel layer, updated the fencing area the play areas but it also limited trash access, sometimes leaving piles of dog bagged waste. Disappointed with the lack of dog-park-related improvements (water stations, benches, dog bags, etc.).

Crossroads is a very large city park in the city of Bellevue. There is a dedicated fenced in area,…read morewhere dogs can roam and play with owners and other dogs. It makes good use of the open spaces, with the trees and fresh air making it a very different experience than other parts of the country (especially SoCal from where I'm from). My daughter and son-in-law got a new dog recently and have been trying to get her to acclimate to other people and other dogs. They haven't been to this city park, so we all decided to take a walk. While walking, it was clear that 'Patsy' wasn't yet ready to socialize with other dogs, so once we noticed there were dogs and owners inside the enclosure, they decided to abort the plan and instead keep exploring the park. I was able to take pictures, and noted that the break in the fence line caused by a downed tree from last month's big storm, was fixed. My biggest observation is how big the enclosed area is. It would be great for big dogs that require a lot of exercise, a large enough space to play frisbee catch off-leash and still be in compliance.

And at Crossroads Pop Up Dog Park, it's fantastic, with ample space in an area that's accessible. I've taken my fur baby to the Crossroads Pop Up Dog Park a few times, and she always has a fun time here. This pop-up dog park is located at the Crossroads Park, right by the community center and golf course. The fenced dog park is huge, with a lot of space for the dogs to run around, especially compared to the other pop-up dog parks. Plus, it's wooded, with tons of tree canopy, so provides shade for those hot summer days when the dogs need to cool down. There were also a few benches inside the fenced area and poop bags are provided right by the two entrances. If you're looking for a place to take your dog where they can be off-leash, Crossroads Pop Up Dog Park is a good option. The location cannot be beat, with it being walking distance to the Crossroads Mall and other amenities, with parking nearby. Anytime I'm in the Crossroads neighborhood with my dog, I'll plan to take her here.

Located off of Old Bellevue, Wildwood Pop-up Dog Park is located in the Wildwood Park, walking distance to the Downtown Bellevue Park. I have some friends that live near here, so will meet them for a dog date as the dogs can be off-leash in this fenced area. The room is spacious enough for running, but small enough where you can monitor your dog and others. There's usually street parking outside of the park. I like this dog park mostly because the dogs can be off-leash and it's in a good location. The ground is bark and poop bags are provided outside by the entrance. The water fountain isn't too far from the area and nearby are benches in the grass area outside of the fenced area. Good option for an off-leash dog park in a prime location.
