Wallace Dog Park
Nob Hill's go-to fenced run, with a loyal regulars crowd
About this park
A fenced wood-chip dog run at Wallace Park in NW Portland, modest in size but consistently cited as the best fenced option in West Portland. The park draws a loyal crowd of regulars from the surrounding Nob Hill neighborhood and Chapman Elementary families, with a generally social and friendly atmosphere. The surface gets muddy in heavy rain and chips need occasional refreshing.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 351 Google reviewsRegulars call it the best fenced dog park in West Portland, pointing to the convenient Nob Hill location and the easy social energy among the core crowd. The larger Wallace Park around it (basketball courts, picnic lawns, good birdwatching in early fall) adds to the draw.
A neighborhood park in every sense. Nob Hill locals and Chapman Elementary families make up most of the regulars, and reviewers speak warmly of the people as much as the dogs.
Best for
Before you go
The wood chip surface gets muddy and soggy during Portland's wet months, so plan on paw wipes in the car. The park is best in summer and fall when the chips dry out. No poop bag station on-site, so bring your own bags.
