No. 189 Willis Tucker Off Leash Dog Park

Willis Tucker Off Leash Area
6705 Puget Park Drive
Snohomish, WA 98296

MAP IT

Opened in 2008 the Will Tucker Off leash area is located to the east of the main park and ball fields.  Handicapped parking can be accessed through an automated gate. Otherwise park in the eastern lot above the ball fields and walk to the right and  follow the signs. A second parking lot has been opened south of the dog park in the 5000 block of Puget Park Drive. Gates are open from 7am till dusk.
A 10 min walk from either parking location brings your to the off leash grounds. A forested smaller area is gated off from the main area for the shy/small dogs. The larger section is open and ringed with trees. At 4 acres it is one of the smaller off leash areas in Snohomish County and gets soggy when it rains and is dusty when its been dry. Currently there are no bathrooms or running water available at the dog area. 2014/2015 Park improvements are planned to include permanent restrooms and bringing in a non freeze fountain within the off leash park. 
Keep a rag handy in your vehicle to wipe off the muddy paws and bring some bottle water for your four legged friend if you plan on staying a while.
