About the Park
Henry A. Porter Community Dog Park at 180 N 4th Ave in Stayton offers two fenced areas, one for small dogs and one for large, so play stays matched to size. A doggy water fountain, benches, and a picnic table sit among the trees, giving a shaded, comfortable feel. It is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and free to use. Stayton is a small town southeast of Salem near the Cascade foothills, where Willamette Valley winters run wet and green. The tree cover and on-site water make warm-weather visits easier, while the fully fenced, split layout suits owners who want a secure space tailored to their dog's size. Waste-bag availability is not noted, so bring your own to be safe.
