About Off-Leash Area

The Magnuson Dog Off-Leash Area (OLA) is located in the center of the park. Created in 1999, many improvements have been completed such as a "small and shy area", beach access, and nine acres for running and playing.

The OLA is recognized as one of the top ten dog parks in the United States! For more information see: www.helpinganimals.com/travel_feat_dogparks.asp

Maintenance and improvements to the OLA are supported by several volunteer organizations such as the Magnuson Professional Dog Walkers' Association.

Construction Update Starting in March 2008 construction will begin on Phase 2 of the Wetland and Athletic Fields Project. Construction fencing will be installed to the south of the off-leash area. Increased use of the OLA and Junior League parking lots is anticipated as they will be one of three lots available for Sports Meadow field users. » More information
