About the Park
Shade is the main draw at Cherry Park's off-leash area in outer Southeast Portland, where mature trees cover much of the ground near SE Stephens Street and 111th Avenue. Trails run through the park, handy for a leashed warm-up walk before letting your dog loose. The off-leash section is unfenced, so it works best for dogs that come when called. Underfoot you'll find a mix of surfaces rather than a single open lawn. The park is free, and hours stretch from 5 a.m. until just past midnight every day of the week. On a drizzly Portland day, the tree cover here offers more protection than most open dog parks in the city.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Cherry Park Off Leash Area is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Cherry Park Off Leash Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
