Fully gravel - our dog always comes home muddy and with injured paws. It’s a good option for Cap Hill, but if you have a choice walk down to the Denny Substation park.

Water fountains are back up and working. This place obviously isn't as good as done of the other places in King County, but it's nice having a place so close to take my pup out for some social time, and then Pine Box is a couple blocks away and dog friendly at you can stop and get a beer after.

Small, smells like human urine, located directly over a freeway... There's not much to like about this dog park accept for "it's there". I really wish Volunteer Park had an off-leash section...

A little small, but it's always packed with dog's who are ready to go! Usually plenty of community toys around, so no need to bring your own!

In terms of a dog park, this is a typical 2 star dog park. Just enough room for them to zoom, but not comfortably. It is in the middle of Seattle which has awful dog parks in general so... maybe it's a 4 star here? Eitherway, its gravel, dog and human water fountains, people are friendly. Good enough for a quick dog energy waste.

This is a fenced gravel area with space for playing fetch. Dog-friendliness I took my small dog there, there were other small dogos at d a couple of n large ones too.

I love this park because Millie, my dog, loves this park. I would give 5 stars but I have one complaint. The water being shut off! Why? The first time I went was somewhat warm and very sunny. There was no water for any of the dogs. I had to take a special trip to Starbucks to get water for all of the dogs. I don't get it. Anyway, great dogs with their people. Millie has a great time!!

Dog park that is fully gravel and not the largest space. When there's more than 10 dogs or so it can feel small, definitely seen my fair share of dog fights here. Usually, they all get to running around and get overwhelmed. Sometimes there are challenges with owners just sitting on their phones and not addressing when their dog is involved, but that can happen anywhere. There's a water fountain for doggos that's only turned on during warmer months. Whenever Cal is closed and SU cracks down on dogs we come here.

Being from the suburbs, this was a serendipitous find for my small lap dog and I. It is a great spot to relax and unwind and let the dogs socialize. They are all friendly with attentive owners. And the views are spectacular. No grass & my dog hates gravel. But we will definitely return

Only gave it three stars because they need to fix the dog water station. Wasn't working and looked gnarly. Other than that, plenty friendly dogs.

Went near at Plymouth Pillars Dog Park. Was driving near by so I took this picture and it is absolutely stunning 😍! Great place for your pets and a great place to get some alone time aka self care kind of thing. Also, outstanding customer service!!! Highly recommended!!! Love love love it 😍!! …

Nice oasis for pups within the city streets, but just average as far as dog parks go. Gravel only (which get stuck between doggie toes!) and no separate area for small dogs.

I have noticed lately that not all dogs who enter are friendly. My dog was jumped as soon as he entered the park today, and it is not the first time. As a dog trainer I can not stress this enough, please, please don’t bring aggressive dogs in the dog park for training. It will increase aggression in your already aggressive dog because they get to practice and therefore reinforce aggressive behavior at the dog park. Aggressive dogs tend to have poor impulse control and are WAY over threshold to listen to commands in this kind of environment. Please know that it is stressful on the aggressive dog (who is reacting out of fear! Which is incredibly disheartening.) and the dogs who are targeted.

Great little park! Be aware that overnight people will open the gates and leave them open, if you're one of the first to show up make sure all the gates are closed! The space is mainly filled with pebbles and dirt, when it rains a lot it can get muddy, but when dry it is a great place! The pebbles also help keep waste from getting stuck to the ground as it does in other parks! The dogs that come are extremely friendly as well as the owners. Have fun!!!

My dog has a great time here. The park is fenced with east and west entry gates using quarantine style entries so leashing can happen away from other dogs to prevent power struggles due to one dog becoming restrained. There is also trees to provide shade near each entrance, a water fountain near the east entrance and the south side of the park has a raised ledge so people can place things out of reach (of most dogs) or have a seat. The biggest problem is the ground, and it is a big problem. The city has chosen a pebble pit as the ground of this park as mowing and grass is too much costs. This means on hot days any space outside of the shade is hot pebbles scorching our dog's paws. If the dogs eun around too much their pads can take some serious damage. Many dogs find walking in these pebbles awkward, and will disengage from playing. The other problem, and this is more a personal bias, is the benches just outside the park on the southern boundary. These are comfy benches that are usually occupied by local homeless persons that are aggressive, mentally ill or physically ill. They find comfort and entertainment in watching the dogs play, but listening to a guy hack, cough and spit for the duration of the dog's playtime sucks. Same with being threatened by people that are fighting with imaginary friends, and think you're one of them.

Lit up at night so you can get those after dark zoomies out. Jean Luc Piccat doesn't approve of the dog smells though!

Nice pets, people, and well lit at night. We regularly find dogs there at 9pm even when it's dark out rainy. It's also not dirty or muddy (gravel). 4 stars for smelling like urine and because the fountain is sometimes clogged or gross. Honestly though, it's nice enough and super convenient.

Lots of gravel and a wide, long space make this perfect for your pooch. It can get a bit loud here since the park actually overlooks the freeway, but the length of it is ideal for throwing your chuck-it and having fido get worn out.

Enjoyable park for smaller dogs and puppies. Lots of people bring larger dogs but there is very little room for them to run. I was also assaulted by a homeless person here. I wouldn’t recommend without friends or protection.
