About the Park
Within the Champoeg State Heritage Area along the Willamette River, this off-leash area covers roughly an acre with creek access for dogs that like water. It is unfenced, so a reliable recall matters here, and the open, mixed-surface ground sits amid the historic riverside setting near St. Paul, southwest of Newberg. Use is free, and the surrounding state park offers trails and picnic space to round out a visit. Hours vary by season, so check the Oregon State Parks page before you go. The creek is a natural cooldown on warm valley days, but keep an eye on dogs near the water. This is a good fit for well-trained dogs comfortable off-leash without a fence.
