Point Defiance Dog Park

Address: Five mile Rd, Tacoma, WA 98407

Wooded trails and open grassy areas give dogs a lot of natural terrain to explore at this Tacoma park. The small dog section is fully fenced, but the main area has only partial fencing — a real concern given its proximity to roads and cliffs, so attentive supervision matters here. A shelter on-site collects rainwater for dogs, though most visitors recommend bringing your own water, particularly in drier months. Waste bags, benches, and shaded spots round out the amenities.
