Review: 

Positive: 

We have been coming to this park since when we first moved to Seattle last year October on a weekly basis. This park's off leash area is extremely large, allowing plenty of room to play with your dogs. It also one of the few parks that the owner can also take a walk with the dog side by side. One can easily spend up to 30 mins -1 hr at this park. The entire enclosed area extend all the way from the large yard to the lake which dogs are allowed to swim. There is also another area enclosed inside the Park for smaller dogs to meet. It is extremely clean and when you are done walking there is also a field near by where you can play with your dog. There is also a nice family side walk that goes all around the lake with BBQ location scattered around. Right outside the park there is also a large children playground. If you are a family you can have the husband sit by the park with kids while the wife goes in to the enclosed area with fur babies, " killing two stones at once"  

Negative 

If you have small dogs sometimes it can be hard to keep an eye on them, since many owners do let their dogs roam on their own freely. We had incidents in the past where a 50 lb dog is chasing after the 3lb chihuahua. She was scared and we had to run after her but the owner did nothing and just says " they are playing". If you have a big dog it is great, but you still have to watch out, however it is normal for any dog park.
