About the Park
Paws for a Beer gives Bellingham dog owners an off-leash place to bring their dogs in this far-northwest Washington city near the Canadian border. It is listed as free to use. Bellingham sits in a cool, wet maritime climate, so damp conditions are common much of the year. Whether the area is fully enclosed has not been confirmed here, so keep your dog leashed near the entrance and under voice control until you can see how the space is bounded. Because specific amenities, surface, and hours are not yet documented for this location, confirm current details and any posted rules directly on site before letting your dog off-leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Paws for a Beer 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, Paws for a Beer is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
