Normandale Dog Park
Three fenced sections under a pine canopy with golden-hour sunsets
About this park
A large fenced dog park in SE Portland with three separate enclosures (large dogs, mixed/medium dogs, and a small-dog area) under a canopy of mature pines and a ginkgo tree that makes it one of the more scenic spots in the city. Two water spigots serve the main area, and the golden-hour light here draws rave reviews. A recurring concern in reviews is fence height: dogs have been observed jumping the relatively short fences between sections.

Before you go
Parking is on the surrounding residential streets and generally manageable on weekday afternoons. The fences between sections are not tall, so keep an eye on jumpers, especially if your dog is small or reactive.
