The new Eastside Off-Leash Dog Area is open for use. To celebrate, you are invited to a grand opening and dedication ceremony on Saturday, July 13th from 10:00 to 11:00am.
“Shoreline’s quality of life is enriched by the wealth of recreation opportunities our beautiful and abundant parks offer - ball fields, a skate park, tennis courts and playgrounds to name a few,” says PRCS Director Dick Deal. “Adding places for dogs to play without leashes builds on that by offering another way for the community to enjoy its parks.”
The new off-leash dog area is located at 1760 NE 150th Street in the southeast corner of the Fircrest campus. Enter the site from NE 150th Street just east of the entrance to the Public Health Lab at 20th Avenue NE.

Now let's just hope the dog owners use THIS park for their off leash dog time. Tired of seeing large dogs off leash at Hamlin, Boeing Creek, Richmond Beach, and Paramount. Everyone thinks 'my dog is nice, they can be off leash' but they aren't thinking about the kids that might be afraid of large dogs running up to meet them.
ReplyDeletenot holding my breath, but hopefully irresponsible dog owners will use these facilities, and not let their dogs use the bathroom in the kid's play equipment area which are surrounded by wood chips, in these parks. I have seen this several times, and actually have to ask the owners to please keep their dogs away from the kids play area.
