The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Happy Valley

Sandy River Delta

The Sandy River Delta Recreation Area is a half-hour drive east of Happy Valley but is definitely worth the trip. Fittingly nicknamed “Thousand Acre Park”, this enormous expanse offers over 1,000 acres of off-leash hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Local pups love the pawportunity to frolic leash-free on the shoreline and cool their tired paws in the scenic Sandy River. The Sandy River makes an exceptional spot for fishing and is home to many species such as salmon, steelhead, and bass. The park is known to get muddy, so come prepared with towels for your furry friend. After you get cleaned up, head over to Troutini, a casual fine-dining eatery that loves its four-legged guests. This place is truly exceptional with offerings such as pan-seared diver scallops with a saffron puree. This place will leave you both drooling!

Eastmoreland

The Crystal Springs Rhododendron Test Garden is one of the best places in the area to see and sniff. This 9.5-acre botanical masterpiece is home to over 2,500 plants, and is dotted with stunning features such as ponds, cascading waterfalls, and fountains. Leashed pets are welcome to stroll through the gardens, but owners must be sure to clean up after their pup. Entry is free during the off-season but there is a small fee during blooming season. If you and your mutt are craving some warm food and a cold drink, stop in at Laurelwood Public House and Brewery for some refreshments!

St Johns

This beautiful waterfront neighborhood is located at the convergence of the Columbus and Willamette Rivers and is home to Cathedral Park. This site has a rich history and is thought to be a landing place of Lewis and Clark. This picturesque riverfront park is tucked away under the St. Johns Bridge and offers a great place for an off-leash romp in the water. Only some areas of the park are off-leash, so make sure to pay close attention to signage. Amenities include a boat ramp and dock, canoe launch, picnic tables, and wheelchair accessible restrooms.

Sellwood Moreland

Seven miles southeast of Happy Valley sits the super pup-friendly neighborhood of Sellwood-Moreland. This burrow is home to Sellwood Riverfront Park--a 7.6-acre park that boasts an impressive off-leash area. The park is located right on the water and features a boat dock and a canoe launch. Your pup will love wading in the cool Willamette River with his newfound buds. For their safety, furry guests must remain on a lead when outside the designated off-leash area. Doggie bags are not provided, so owners will need to bring their own. After an afternoon romp in the park, enjoy a relaxing meal at one of the 12 dog-friendly eateries that Sellwood-Moreland has to offer.

Bridlemile

Bridlemile is home to Council Crest Park, a 43-acre park, located on the highest point in Portland. This property boasts both fantastic views and an interesting history. The park has an elevation of 1,073 feet, and is a great place for a scenic picnic with Fido. Contained within the vicinity is a 2-acre off-leash area that is very popular with the local paw-pulation. If you’re looking for a nice dog-friendly lunch spot, check out the Feathered Nest. This inclusive eatery offers delicious fare with gluten-free and vegetarian options.
