Mary S Young Dog Park

I really enjoy this park. Plenty of grass for the dogs to enjoy too. I always like non fenced in parks because the dogs seem far less aggressive. I have a small dog and a big dog and I can bring them both here safely. If you’re up for a walk, head down the path to the river. There’s beautiful views of the water along the way and another off leash area at the water front.

If your pup likes wide open spaces and has solid recall, then this is a good park in our area. Unlike the close confines of many dog parks, this one is unfenced and spacious. You can break out the king size Chuckit! in this park.
The dog park is at the end of the road alongside the parking lot. It is critical you only bring a dog here that responds to your voice since there are no boundaries and a fair number of distractions.
Mary S. Young is a regular haunt for my family for both the sports fields and nature trails leading down to the Willamette River. There are three small covered shelters with seating spaced around the perimeter of the open area. We’ve had reasonably good luck here with our dog. Meaning both the people and their dogs seem pretty laid back and there are some great regulars.
