About the Park
Space to roam is the point at Lents Park, where the off-leash area spreads across a roomy stretch of grass at 5208 SE 88th Avenue in outer Southeast Portland. Natural shade trees take the edge off summer heat, benches give owners a perch, and water access means you're not hauling a jug from home. A community garden sits nearby. The area is unfenced, so keep that in mind for dogs still learning recall. The park is free, with daily hours of 5 a.m. to midnight. It's a practical everyday option for the Lents neighborhood — open turf, shade, water, and seating without any entry fee.
