Dog Park Lakewood

About

Landscaped with bushes, trees and logs, this area is the perfect playground for dogs of all sizes. There are also water fountains and benches for you and your dog to stay cool. It even includes a separate fenced area for small dogs.

The Fort Steilacoom Dog Park opened in 2006 and draws visitors from throughout South Puget Sound. Since its opening, it has received numerous accolades. This includes being named “Best Dog Park” in Western Washington in 2017 by King 5’s Evening Magazine and Best Dog Park in the South Sound by South Sound Magazine.

In addition to the fenced off-leash area, Fort Steilacoom Park has a paved trail around Waughop Lake and a diverse terrain trail system for those looking to switch up their normal dog walking routines. Leashes are required outside of the dog park. Before visiting please read the dog park rules and regulations.
