About the Park
Two seasonal enclosures make Gabriel Park's off-leash area a year-round option in Southwest Portland — separate summer and winter areas within a fully fenced setup. The space off SW 45th Avenue includes water access, shade trees, and tables and chairs for owners who want to sit while dogs work the grass. A designated large-dog area gives big players room without smaller dogs underfoot. Nature trails and a community garden sit nearby, so it's easy to tack a leashed walk onto a visit. Entry is free, and the park runs on Portland's standard 5 a.m. to midnight schedule. The grass surface holds up better in summer than during the soggy Northwest winter.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Gabriel Park Off Leash Area 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.
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, Gabriel Park Off Leash Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
