About the Park
Two designated off-leash sections, including a separate space for small dogs, serve Mt. Tabor Park at 2219 SE 68th Avenue in Southeast Portland. The play area is fully fenced with an engineered mulch surface — less mud than grass in the rainy months — and a ramp entrance. A newer entrance at SE 68th adds fencing and stairs, mature trees provide shade, and an accessible restroom sits at the summit alongside an accessible picnic table. Waste bags and seating are provided, and city and mountain views come standard on the walk up. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, shorter than most Portland parks, and entry is free.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Mt. Tabor Park 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.
Best of all, Mt. Tabor Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
