About the Park
Water access sets this Aberdeen off-leash area apart, giving dogs a chance to wade or drink along Moccasin Creek. The grounds are fully fenced, so dogs can roam without a leash inside the enclosure. Entry is free as part of Aberdeen's public off-leash park system. Beyond fencing and water, posted features are sparse, so bring waste bags and anything your dog needs for a longer visit. Hours aren't listed here; the city's off-leash parks page is the best place to confirm before heading out. The recreation-area setting means you may share the wider grounds with other users. As always, make sure the gate is latched before letting your dog loose.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Moccasin Creek Recreation Area is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
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.
