Dog Park at McCormick Park

location_onSt. Helens, OR

A creek running through McCormick Park in St. Helens gives dogs a place to wade and splash, the standout feature of this off-leash area northwest of Portland along the Columbia. Shady trees and benches make it comfortable on warmer days, and water access is a plus for dogs that like to cool off. The off-leash area is unfenced, so keep recall in mind near the creek and park paths. The park is free and open daily from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Wet winters can make the banks muddy, so expect some mess after rain. Bring waste bags and keep an eye on the water level in the creek. See the St. Helens parks page for any seasonal off-leash notes before visiting.
