Dog walking in Kennewick

Midtown

Midtown is a small neighborhood that contains some of the busiest business districts in the city. That's why its so shocking the neighborhood also has the Zintel Canyon Park, a mostly undeveloped area that provides gorgeous scenery of the hilly landscape and wildlife, with a paved path that extends .7 miles through the park. Dogs are welcome in the park while on a leash and can enjoy a serene walk here. The Al Robinson Park is much more developed, with three baseball fields, paved walking paths, and amenities like water fountains, picnic shelters, trash bins, benches, and nighttime lights for you and your leashed pup.

Downtown Kennewick

Surprisingly, Downtown Kennewick is on the northern part of town, right along the shore of Columbia River. With gorgeous views of the river and offering vibrant fields, is no wonder dogs and humans love Fruitland Park. The park itself is of average size, with trees lining the outer edges of the park that provide shade and privacy for inhabitants. There's paved trails, a playground, a baseball field, and plenty of room for Fido to run around and play. The Keewaydin Park is also a great place to bring Fido, thanks to the concrete greenway that travels along the creek next to the park. There's also open space, benches, trash bins, and clean-up stations. Both parks require pups to be leashed.

Finley

Finley is right across from the confluence of the Columbia River and Snake River. Right on the shoreline is Two Rivers Park, a beautiful stretch of green field along the blue river, with lots of trees and open space for Fido. Dogs and humans will love the park, thanks to the abundance of parking and amenities that include water fountains, clean-up stations, and benches. Hover Park is on the southern side of the neighborhood along the river, and is wholly undeveloped, but has nature trails that wind throughout the area. Dogs are not required to be on a leash inside this park, but don't forget to bring water and clean-up bags here!

Hansen Park

Hansen Park is an upscale neighborhood, with long rows of residential homes. Among the homes is a park called Hansen Park, named after the neighborhood. The park has a playground, pavilion, paved paths and a large area dedicated to open space that's perfect for numerous passive activities for humans and pups, whether it's playing, fetching, or just running wild. Dogs do have to remain on a leash at this park. The Hansen Park is also a scenic stop in this neighborhood, mainly thanks to the green grass and looping trail that surrounds it. The trail is 1.1 miles in length and made from concrete, with plenty of space on both sides for Fido to play. There are trash bins and benches here.

Creekstone

The Creekstone neighborhood takes up the southern part of town, with rows of residential homes and scenes of the surrounding desert. The Creekstone Community Park is a popular spot to attend with Fido, thanks to the well-kept lawn, open space, and paved path. The spot is small but provides the perfect place to get Fido some outdoor exercise, with access to benches and trash bins. The park connects to the Irving Trail, which is a concrete and asphalt trail that winds northward. Grassy fields run alongside both sides of the trail. Dogs have to remain on a leash at both sites, and owners should bring water and clean-up bags.
