Shoreline Dog Parks made permanent, ShoreDog plans DogFest

ShoreDog, the Shoreline Off-Leash dog group, is planning its second annual DogFest, celebrating the two dog parks in Shoreline which were made permanent by the Shoreline City Council after a trial period. The Shoreview and Richmond Beach Off-Leash parks will be maintained by the ShoreDog group, which has long advocated for off-leash areas in the city.

Dogs need to be on-leash in the rest of the city parks. Warning tickets are being given now during what is considered an education period, with actual tickets and fines planned for later in the year.

The Richmond Beach area is at the far south end of the waterfront at Saltwater Park. The Shoreview area is adjacent to the parking lot at Shoreline Community College. For more information, see the ShoreDog website.

DogFest will be hosted by ShoreDog at the Shoreview Off-Leash Park on Saturday, September 18 from 11am to 3 pm.
