While there is not an off-leash area for your pup here, there is a shell walkway where you can enjoy a nice stroll while your fur baby is on their leash. There are also some great picnic areas right near the waterfront. These areas have covered and uncovered picnic tables, grills, restrooms and a beautiful view of the water. Another plus is that parking is free! Grab your pup’s leash and prepare for a pawesome day at this beach.

Federal Way

This dog-friendly neighborhood is located 18 miles from University Place, and is a great place to enjoy the outdoors with your pooch. The French Lake Dog Park is a huge 10-acre, completely fenced-in park where your canine friend can sniff and explore everything off-leash. The terrain is so inviting for your pooch; there are hills, trees and sand pits for digging here. The trees provide nice shaded areas, and there are also picnic tables for you and your pooch to enjoy some lunch. Your pooch will love the small pond located here!

A water fountain and waste bags are provided, so all you need is your pup's favorite toy to enjoy a day of fun in the sun!

This neighborhood is a great spot, especially if your pooch likes the outdoors. Highland Park in Seattle is located 39 miles from University Place, is home to the Westcrest Dog Park. This off-leash dog park encompasses 4 fenced-in acres, so there is plenty of room for your pooch to explore. The wide open spaces are perfect for canine pals to run around and romp. One side of the park is covered with shredded bark, and the other is covered in sand; your pup will love exploring both!
