Token Creek Dog Park
A big open field, forest trails, and a small-dog course
About this park
Token Creek Dog Park is a large open field rimmed by trees, with a central mound, perimeter trails that run through the tree line, and a fenced small-dog area stocked with agility obstacles. Owners can choose wide-open space for fetch or shaded forest paths for a longer walk. There is a port-a-potty by the main lot, bags and trash bins at the entrance, but no running water.

Before you go
Bring your own water, since the only supply is whatever Good Samaritans leave by the communal bowls. Park on Anderson and walk in through the forest trail to skip the slow, speed-bumped drive to the main lot.
Frequently asked
- Is there a separate small-dog area?
- Yes, and it is unusually large. It sits fenced off from the main field with its own agility obstacles, which reviewers say they have not found at other small-dog runs nearby.
- Is there drinking water on site?
- None. Communal bowls sit near the entrance and visitors sometimes leave gallon jugs beside them, but that supply is luck rather than policy.
- How long does it take to walk the whole park?
- Covering every trail runs a couple of hours by one regular's count. Outer paths thread the tree line while inner ones climb a central mound with seating at the top.
- Where is the best place to park?
- The main lot sits at the end of a slow internal road, five to ten minutes at 15 mph over a run of speed humps. Regulars park on Anderson instead and walk in on the forest trail.
- Is there a restroom?
- A port-a-potty stands by the main parking lot. Waste bins and bag dispensers cluster at the entrance, so a bag picked up on the far trails travels a while.
