Genesee Dog Park
Community-stocked open yard with a shy-dog pen and agility gear
About this park
Genesee Dog Park is a popular, community-maintained off-leash area in the Rainier Valley neighborhood with a wide open layout that lets owners see the entire play space at a glance. The park has a separate gated section for small or shy dogs, an agility area, and community-donated water containers and toys scattered throughout. The large dirt surface means it gets muddy in wet weather, a consistent caveat in reviews.

Before you go
Expect muddy paws after any rain; the large dirt sections don't drain quickly. The park has two entrances (north and south sides), so pick based on your approach direction. Overflow parking is available at the nearby soccer field lot.
