Magnuson Park, Unleash the Dogs for a Run

Seattle is a very dog friendly town and one of the great ways to reward your faithful furry companions for their good behavior is to let them run loose at one of the many no leash dog parks in the city.  Magnuson Park in the NE neighborhood of Seattle just north of the UW and along beautiful Lake Washington is one of these city parks that offer huge spaces for you and your dog’s bountiful enjoyment.  There are several entrances to the Park, but the very south entrance on 65th and Sandpoint Way will take you to there.

There is an expansive open section for big dogs and one for little dogs.  It is like the neighborhood social for animals, where they meet and greet one another.  Quite the experience and the dogs are absolutlely gorgeous to look at.  Good exercise for the human companions, as well.  The views of Lake Washington are also stunning, and the breeze that hits you is refreshing and cool, even on a hot summer day.  You will also see on any given day a bunch of kite flying enthusiasts just next to the dog run.  Vibrant colors and some really great designs of kites to watch.  Plenty of parking and oh, what a day for doggie and you!
