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.

Fallen tree trunks get a second use as human benches in the middle of the meadow

Agility area for those athletic and trained dogs

It is beautiful here!!!  If you park in the upper parking lot by the playground, you can walk through a beautiful forest on a trail with built in stairs and bridges while the creek babbles away on the side of the trail. After you reach the area to access the beach, you walk across a sky bridge over some railroad tracks which ends on a tall platform overlooking a very large beach and a beautiful view of the Puget Sound and islands. About 11 sets of winding steps take you down to the sand where you can either go left or right. Either way, there is usually plenty of beach for everyone and it isn't all packed the way most other beaches are. It is fairly peaceful and relaxing. BNSF at commuter trains  go by and it is nice to either walk the beach or just sit and look at the water. As with most puget sound beaches the open area depends on current tide conditions. This beach can go from 10 feet during high tide to a couple a hundred of feet during low tide. Before heading to Howarth Park its important to know the current tide levels. During High Tide there is no access to the offleash area.

No. 169 Clise Windmill

6046 West Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE
 Redmond, WA 98052

MAP IT

Marymoor Park in Redmond, is one of the most popular parks on the Eastside. With 640 acres of grass fields, gardens, trails, playgrounds, and more, it is a destination for families, sports enthusiasts, weekend bikers, and more. The park has become such an important part of community life in the area that it is easy to forget that it wasn't always a public area. The history of Marymoor Park is as fascinating as the park itself.
The Clise Windmill is located on the western edge of Marymoor Park near the Clise Mansion  along the Sammamish Slough. James Clise had this windmill constructed to resemble the many windmill he and his wide had enjoyed on their european vacations to Holland.

No. 86 Orcas Island Off-LEash Dog Park

Orcas Island’s off-leash area is located adjacent to the Port of Orcas Day Park at the corner of Mt. Baker and North Beach Roads just north of Eastsound. Formally called the Eastsound Off Leash Dog Area, it’s about an acre in size, with grassy and wood-chipped areas, dog water, Mutt Mitts, a dog “toy box” and picnic tables. The creation and maintenance of the park is really a grassroots effort. The park is supported by donations of funds and services from many islanders and visitors including the The Port of Orcas, which generously donated the use of the land until it is needed for airport purposes. There has also been an effort by many users to keep the water containers full and the area clean – and help out to spread out wood chips to help make the park more usable during the wet winter weather.
