About the Park
Yelm Dog Park gives dog owners an off-leash spot in Yelm, a small city in Thurston County southeast of Olympia in southwest Washington. There is no fee, as it operates as a public park. The area's mild, wet climate keeps the ground soft for much of the year outside summer, so expect damp footing in the rainier months. Fencing has not been confirmed, so keep your dog leashed near the entrance and within voice range until you can see how enclosed the off-leash area is. Because the surface, hours, and other amenities are not yet documented for this location, check posted signage and current conditions when you arrive.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Yelm Dog Park 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, Yelm Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

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.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
