About the Park
Part of the Willamalane park system in Springfield, this off-leash area sits within Lively Park east of Eugene in the Willamette Valley. Dogs can run off-leash here at no cost, since it is a free public park. Willamalane maintains the surrounding park, so you may find broader amenities nearby, though specific dog-park features like fencing and separate size areas are not confirmed in our records. Check the Willamalane website for current hours, rules, and any seasonal changes before heading over. The valley's wet winters can leave grassy areas muddy, so plan footwear accordingly. Confirm on-site whether the off-leash zone is enclosed if your dog does not have a reliable recall.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Lively Park Dog 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.
Best of all, Lively Park Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
