- Rainier Trail Dog Park
The City is constructing a new dog park along the Rainier Trail. Located near the Issaquah Community Center, this central location in Olde Town was selected after positive community feedback from our Pop-Up Dog Park Tour.
Following an extensive public engagement process, an off-leash dog park was identified as a priority project in the City’s 2018 Parks Strategic Plan.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Issaquah made several budget reductions in 2020, which impacted many parks projects, including the dog park.
A two-year Pop-Up Dog Park Tour was successful in serving resident needs for an off-leash dog facility while the City explored options. The site by the Issaquah Community Center along the Rainier Trail proved to be extremely popular.
In the 2023-24 budget, City Council authorized funding to make this a permanent dog park site while we continue to pursue a permanent option at Tibbetts Valley Park during future re-visioning of the park.
This conceptual design for the Rainier Trail Dog Park takes into consideration existing site features, user safety and comfort and overall park experience.
Including a central access point, easy access to existing trail systems, a "small/shy dog area", watering stations, seating options, mulched play areas and a walking path, the concept makes full use of the existing space.
