About the Park
Genesee Park Off-Leash Area is a fully fenced 2.5-2.7 acre dog park in Southeast Seattle with double-gated entrances and a flat, open layout for easy supervision. The central area features gravel surfacing to prevent mud in winter, complemented by a doggie drinking fountain and some shade trees. A small and shy dog area was added in 2018.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Genesee 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.
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.
Best of all, Genesee Park Off-Leash Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash

Your dog's favorite toy
