First time at off leash dog park! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie2006 · 04-08-2007, 03:04 PM

Today, I took Gracie to an off leash dog park for the first time. The off leash area is very nice, completely enclosed with fencing. They call it a corral. There were lots of big dogs there so I was a bit cautious at first. When I saw how mellow all the big dogs were I decided to go for it and let Gracie run and play. She had such fun! She met a 6 month old Yorkie and those two had such fun playing together. The dog parents were all real nice. It was a nice way to spend Gracie's first Easter, romping in the sunshine!

I like to bring Luna to the Doggy Park, but she will freak out if we go to the "big dogs" section... She will jump in momma's lap and will not go down...
So, we stick now to the "little dogs" section. The bad part is that there is more big dogs than little, so sometimes we are all alone...

Sounds like you had a fun time! That's awesome! We've never been to an off leash dog park. I wish we had one here we could go to.
There's one here but the big dog and little dog section is mixed and with Jaden and Jewelina being so small I'm always worried they will get stepped on

I wish we had seperate sections or a certain time when medium-smaller dogs could come. It seems like everytime we go to the park and look over there it's Great Danes, Rottweilers, and Boxers, and even though I know some of those breeds can be the sweetest most loving thing, with strangers dogs, I just never know and knowing my little girl she'd probably try to jump on top of one or something. She thinks she's a big dog too!

I have a brother who lives in Kent, WA. Last time I was out there, we went to a dog park in Redmond that was beautiful! It had an area where the dogs could swim and just the walk thru was sooo nice! You might try that one out sometime!

Yes, I know of the park in Redmond. It is MaryMoore. It is a state park so they charge for parking. It is also very huge. The one I found is in Bellevue, Robinswood Community Park. It is the nicest city park I have run across. Thanks for the suggestion!

I will have to ask my brother if they have gone to that one. They have three dogs, so it's great for them! I wish we had parks like that here. We have a couple dogs park, but the one in Redmond puts all of our's to shame!

I love love LOVE robinswood park

Marymoore park only charges a dollar for parking, which is stupid since its a public place.... they mostly just have large dogs there, some a lil too aggressive for me, but its still a nice place

We go to the dog park every weekend ours is seperated into small,medium and large so its ver convenient. My girls like to watch their big mastfff brither run from the little dog side then he always comes to visit at the fence. Its great exercise off the leash they get so tired.
