About the Park
Hilly terrain separates Mt. Tabor's off-leash dog area from Portland's typical flat fields — dogs climb here, following trails under mature shade trees. The area at 2219 SE 68th Avenue in Southeast Portland is fully fenced, with separate sections for small and large dogs plus newer fencing and an updated entrance. Scenic views open up as the ground rises, and grass covers the slopes. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, with no fee. The grade does real work tiring out high-energy dogs; twenty minutes of uphill fetch beats an hour on flat turf. Older dogs or those with joint trouble may prefer one of the city's level parks instead.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Mt. Tabor Park Off-Leash Dog 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Mt. Tabor Park Off-Leash Dog Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
