About this park
Woodland Park is a large Green Lake-adjacent city park wrapped around Woodland Park Zoo, with picnic lawns, courts and fields, and a fenced off-leash area in the lower section. Most visitors come for the broader park grounds (events, festivals, and long wooded walking paths through mature trees), with the dog run serving as a neighborhood amenity rather than the main draw.

💡
Before you go
Only the designated off-leash area inside Lower Woodland is legal for off-leash play; dogs must stay leashed elsewhere on the grounds and are not permitted inside the zoo. Parking fills fast during Wild Lanterns and other zoo events, so weekday mornings are the easiest window to get in and out.
