    Dogs in Bellevue Parks

    Dogs and their humans are welcome in all Bellevue Parks and trails while on leash with only a few exceptions; dogs are prohibited at beach parks during the swimming season, synthetic turf areas, the Botanical Garden, Bannerwood Stadium and Kelsey Creek Farm. Service animals are always welcome while providing assistance to their human partner.

    Area Parks with Off-Leash Dog Areas

    Although off-leash play is considered a recreation use by many, please understand that not all users are comfortable around animals. For off-leash recreation, please be a considerate neighbor and take advantage of some of the nearby designated off leash areas listed below:

    • Robinswood Park - 2432 148th Ave. SE
    • Newport Hills Woodlawn Park - 6029 120th Ave. SE 
    • Luther Burbank Park - 2040 84th Ave. SE, Mercer Island
    • Marymoor Park - 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE, Redmond
    • Warren G. Magnuson Dog Park - 7400 Sandpoint Way NE, Seattle

    “Pop-up” Dog Off-Leash Areas

      Bellevue Parks & Community Services is excited to launch a new “Pop-up” Dog Off-Leash Pilot Program in response to growing demand for accessible and safe spaces for pets and their owners to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Fenced off-leash facilities will “pop-up” in parks and other city-owned properties to provide off-leash dog facilities on a temporary basis.  The objective of this program is to improve permanent access to off-leash facilities throughout Bellevue and provide an opportunity to hear from you! Please share your thoughts by visiting these sites and taking the survey.

      Report Dogs Off Leash

      It is a violation of Bellevue City Code to allow dogs or other pets to run at large within parks, other than within City designated off-leash areas (BCC 3.43.145).   

      While Parks Rangers can request voluntary compliance, they have no code enforcement authority. The City contracts with Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) for enforcement of animal control codes.

      How to Submit a Complaint

      To Bellevue
