West Hillhurst off-leash area WHL-001

My dog loves the terrain here, which is hilly and grassy. There are beautiful views of the city from the brow of the hill, and a bench at the northwest corner to enjoy them from. There are various spots to park on either side and I have never had trouble finding parking. There is a back alley that runs along the south perimeter, fenced houses along the north end, 19th Street NW on the east side and quiet residential streets on the west side, so it is not fully fenced, but the alley is quiet and it feels safe for your dog. As it's on a hill, visibility is good if your dog likes to wander. There is a beautiful old tree in the middle that seems popular for climbing. This dog park is mostly frequented by locals, most of whom are very friendly.

Great place to walk the dog. Other dog walkers seem more chilled out than in the busier places.

there's a very nice tree here. it had a lot of character and I could feel it's age. please do not write your name in it

This area is good because it has wide open spaces so you can always see your dog when he runs. There is a problem dog named Hudson who quickly turns nasty when he has started to play. Roughhousing becomes biting and aggression. My large 8 month old puppy is very scared to meet this dog. Most other dogs are friendly and approachable even if they don't want to play.

Excellent spot to let your dog run and play with other dogs. Please be a responsible owner and make sure your bring your poop bags. There are trash cans on site to dispose the poop bags.
This is also a great location to fly a kite as it's open, there's enough open space to run without getting the kite tangle on a tree or building.
This place also has a great view of downtown. The view enhances at night time.
