About the Park
Separate sections for large and small dogs, agility equipment, and a rubberized play surface make Wallace Park one of the better-equipped dog parks in Northwest Portland. The fully fenced area at 1628 NW 25th Avenue includes a ramp entrance, a paved pathway to the play area, an accessible restroom and picnic table, plus shade and water access. Community events happen here regularly, including a dog parade. Posted hours run 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and entry is free. The rubberized surface drains better than grass in the rainy season and is gentler on older joints. If accessibility matters to you or your dog, this park covers it more thoroughly than most.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Wallace 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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
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 Wallace Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
