About the Park
Rolling hills and wide-open fields define Fernhill Park at 6010 NE 37th Avenue in Northeast Portland. Dogs that love to run get real distance here, with wooded areas and a pond adding variety, plus a nature patch along the way. The off-leash space is unfenced, so it favors dogs under solid voice control. Seating gives owners somewhere to rest while the grass handles the action. Like most Portland parks, it's free and open from 5 a.m. to midnight every day. The terrain makes this a stronger pick for high-energy breeds than a flat fenced run — bring a long line if your dog's recall is still a work in progress.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Fernhill Park 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.
Best of all, Fernhill Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
