About this park

One of the best-maintained dog parks in the Portland metro area, located at PCC Rock Creek in the Beaverton/Hillsboro corridor with three separate fenced sections: a small-dog run, a summer grass area, and a year-round wood chip section. Running water is available in all sections even in winter (rare among Portland parks), and the large open sections comfortably handle 20-30 dogs without feeling crowded.

Rock Creek Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

Reviewers consistently praise the sheer size, the three dedicated sections, and the fact that water stays on year-round when other Westside parks shut it off. The wood chip winter run gets credit for good drainage and a back half that's usually stocked with found tennis balls.

The community

A steady Westside regulars crowd, mostly medium and large dogs, with owners who tend to stay attentive and keep things calm even when 20-plus dogs share a section.

Before you go

Parking requires a permit in the PCC lot. Free street parking is available at NW Springville and NW 173rd Ave, about 250 feet from the gates. In winter, only the wood chip section is open.
