Visiting With Your Dog

When you pull up to this beloved off-leash park on Yelm Highway, you'll find plenty of parking available, which is always a relief when you're managing an excited pup. The park itself is spacious and well-maintained, with both open grassy areas perfect for fetch and shaded trails for those warmer days when your dog needs a break from the sun. Arriving early on weekday mornings tends to be the sweet spot—you'll encounter fewer crowds, giving your dog more room to explore and socialize at their own pace.

Bring plenty of water and a collapsible bowl, though the park does have water stations available. It's also smart to pack waste bags and perhaps a towel if your dog tends to find every muddy patch (mine certainly does). The open layout means you can keep a close eye on your dog while they roam, and the other regulars here are genuinely friendly and respectful of each other's pups.

What makes a visit here even better is how perfectly it connects with the nearby area. After an hour or two of running around, you can head over to Hobbit House of Coffee just a short drive away—they have a shaded outdoor seating area where your tired pup can relax while you grab a much-needed coffee. Or if you're visiting on a weekend afternoon, Puget City Brewing nearby welcomes well-behaved dogs on their patio, making it an easy way to transition from park time into a more social outing without leaving your companion behind.

The park's off-leash setup is genuinely well-designed, giving dogs real freedom while maintaining safety. Whether you're new to Olympia or a longtime resident looking for a reliable spot, this park consistently delivers everything a dog owner could want—good facilities, natural space, and that special community feeling that makes returning again and again worthwhile.
