About the Park
Lighting sets Riverside Drive Dog Park apart in McMinnville, letting owners visit after dark during the Willamette Valley's short winter days. The park is fully fenced with a year-round off-leash area surfaced in shredded cedar, plus a seasonal summer area on lawn turf and a separate space for small or timid dogs. Asphalt pathways, water access, and waste bags round it out. The size separation and lighting make it flexible for different dogs and schedules. It is free, with the seasonal area operating on its own calendar, so check which sections are open before you go. Wine-country winters here are wet, so the cedar-chip surface helps with drainage. Bring water in summer and confirm current hours on-site.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Riverside Drive Dog 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.
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.
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, Riverside Drive Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
