About the Park
A water spigot and shaded trees cover the two things dogs need most on a warm day at Wilshire Park's off-leash area in Portland. The space is unfenced, so it suits dogs under voice control, and seating plus picnic areas give owners reasons to linger. A playground sits nearby, worth knowing if your dog is unsure around running children. This is a free public park; hours are not listed in our records, so check the posted signs for the current off-leash schedule. Pack a collapsible bowl to make use of the spigot, bring a towel in the wet season, and keep the leash handy for the walk in from the street.
