Blue Dog Pond is a 1.7-acre fully fenced off-leash dog park in Sam Smith Park, Seattle, featuring a wide rectangular field with grassy side slopes ideal for play and a distinctive blue dog sculpture at the entrance. It includes running water and art sculptures but can become muddy during rainy seasons as a water catchment area. Accessed via stairs below street level, it's popular for fetch and running.
