About the Park
Old trees and a duck pond give Laurelhurst Park's off-leash area more scenery than the average dog run. The unfenced section sits inside one of Southeast Portland's best-known parks, with deep shade from large trees, benches for owners, and a water fountain on hand. Because there's no fence, it suits dogs with dependable recall rather than escape artists. Grass covers the play area, soft in the dry months and muddy through Portland's long wet season. Hours run 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily, a bit shorter than most city parks, and entry is free. Check posted signs for the exact off-leash boundary when you arrive.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Laurelhurst Park Off Leash Area 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.
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.
