Dog Park Locations

In the center of Bellingham is this 100-year-old neighborhood park. Most of the park is below street level, surrounded by greenery, and is divided into two park portions by Cornwall Avenue and flanked by North and South Park Street. Properties that face the park benefit from a city-maintained view as well as a higher property value than similar houses in the same area.

The park features heritage shrubs and trees such as lilacs, rhododendrons, bridal veil, and dogwoods, as well as native plants and turn-of-the-century interests in flora and fauna. The majority of the bushes have been dug out by curious children, making an interesting hide and seek field.

Northridge Park is south of McLeod Road and north of Barkley Boulevard in the Mount Baker neighborhood. Northridge Park is a partially built park with a trail; parking is now only available on neighborhood streets.

This 25-acre park on the outskirts of town is packed with activities and adventure for the whole family. On the accessible playground, parents bring their children to play, climb, and swing. The park has a paved pump track and the state's first outdoor parkour course for those searching for a challenge.

With 70 acres to explore, the park is centrally placed and offers opportunity to escape into nature. Explore 1.5 miles of track through open fields and a mature forest canopy down by the brook.

Sudden Valley Dog Park is ideal for your dog since it provides lots of space for running, exercising, and socializing. It also has access to the beach.

Because of its long beach, it is one of the greatest places to bring your dog because it is conveniently located on Marine Drive at Lindbergh Avenue in the Urban Growth Area. When at the beach, though, dogs must always be on a leash. On a warm day, you can go for a run or ride your bike with your dogs.

Your pet is welcome to accompany you on the park's trails off-leash, but keep them away from the creek, which may be filthy. On the beach, pets must be leashed.
