Visiting With Your Dog
Anderson Park is one of Redmond's best-kept secrets for a relaxed afternoon with your pup. The expansive green spaces give dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs and play, while the well-maintained grounds mean you won't be dealing with muddy paws on the way home—though I'd still recommend bringing a towel just in case. The off-leash areas are clearly marked and generously sized, so your dog can really get some exercise and socialize with other dogs in the neighborhood.
Parking is convenient with spots right along 168th Ave NE, so you won't spend twenty minutes searching for a space. I'd suggest heading out on weekday mornings or early afternoons when the park is less crowded, especially if your dog is still working on their leash manners or prefers a calmer environment. On weekends, particularly afternoons, the park fills up quickly with families and other dog owners.
Bring plenty of water—there's shade scattered throughout, but the open fields can get hot on sunny days. A collapsible bowl fits easily in your pocket and takes up no space. I always pack treats and waste bags, obviously, and it's worth bringing a ball or frisbee to really tire out high-energy dogs.
The best part about Anderson Park's location is how easily you can make it part of a larger outing. After letting your dog burn off steam, you're just minutes from Postdoc Brewing, where you can grab coffee or a bite while your pup rests in the shade outside. If you're looking for something later in the day, Wild Ride Brewing is another nearby option where you can relax after playtime.
Overall, Anderson Park delivers exactly what neighborhood dog owners need: accessible, spacious, and genuinely enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.
