About the Park
Small dogs and large dogs each get their own fenced space at the dog park inside Happy Valley Park, in the southeast Portland metro area. The park is fully fenced with a double-gated entry, so you can secure your dog before opening the inner gate. Separate areas keep bigger and smaller dogs apart, and there is a dedicated small-dog zone. On-site you will find seating, shelters, shady trees, waste bag stations, and water access, plus walking trails through the larger park complex. The ground is a mixed surface. Entry is free. Wet Portland winters can soften the ground, so expect some mud in the rainy months. It is a well-equipped, contained option for owners who want size-separated play and shade.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Happy Valley Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
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, Dog Park at Happy Valley Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
