About the Park
Agility equipment sets Hillsdale Park apart from most Portland off-leash spots. The fully fenced dog area covers about two acres near SW 27th Avenue and the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway in Southwest Portland, with open lawn for flat-out running and greenery around the edges. Grass underfoot means soft landings, though it also means mud in the wetter months — standard for the west side of town. The park is free and open daily from 5 a.m. to midnight, so commuters can fit in a session before work. With secure fencing and room to sprint, it suits dogs that need real exercise rather than a quick relief stop.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hillsdale 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.
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.
Best of all, Hillsdale Park 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
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
