Lafayette Dog Park

Tucked in the east corner of Lafayette Park, the Lafayette Park Dog Play Area is an urban oasis for Pacific Height’s four-legged residents. This hilltop park is both functional and beautiful; it’s easy to see why so many pups and their parents often visit to socialize and stretch their legs! 

A few features make the Lafayette Park Dog Play Area unique. One of the first things that pet parents will notice is that there is no separate section for small pooches, so dogs of all sizes mingle with each other in a single space. The area is lined with artificial turf, with neighboring residential buildings providing a furbulous backdrop. Because the park is situated on top of a hill, the ground is slightly sloped, so this is probably not the best location to play fetch. And although the off-leash area is fenced on three sides, the entrance remains open to accommodate an ADA pathway that connects to the rest of the park. 

Amenities include a water fountain for dogs and humans, benches for the pet parents, and garbage bins. Bring your own waste bags as there doesn’t seem to be a dispenser on-site, and always clean up after your pooch and be mindful of other visitors. The dog park opens early and closes late, so your furry pal can still get their exercise even if you work long hours.  

If your pup still has energy to burn, take them for a leashed stroll around the main park. As you’re following the paved walking paths, keep your eyes and ears open for feathered visitors. Lafayette Park is an urban birding hotspot, and a number of bird species, from hummingbirds to owls, are known to stop by.
