THPRD offers an abundance of opportunities for the community to exercise their dogs.

THPRD's 200+ park sites, 90 of them with recreational amenities, offer an abundance of opportunities for the community to exercise their dogs. For the protection of wildlife, pets are not allowed within the Tualatin Hills Nature Park or Cooper Mountain Nature Park. All dogs are required to be on leash and under control by their owners while visiting park district property.

THPRD's dog parks are open dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
Note: the parks at Winkelman and PCC have grass enclosures that close during winter months; the all-season areas remain open year-round at both locations.

To ensure that our parks are sanitary as well as safe, we require that patrons remove any solid waste contributed by their dog(s).

Hazeldale Park

The designated off-leash dog area at Aloha's Hazeldale Dog Park is the district's first dog park. It is located at SW 192nd and Prospect Place, at the south end of the park.

The fenced-in park spans two acres and is divided into sections for large, medium, and small dogs. Amenities include benches, disposal bags, and a water fountain. The surface is grass, dirt and wood chips.

Winkelman Park

Established in 2013, the Winkelman Park site (10139 SW 175th Ave.) is located on the east slope of Aloha's Cooper Mountain. It features a two-acre dog park adjacent to a multi-purpose youth athletic field. THPRD will eventually add a community garden, sheltered picnic seating, play areas, and more to the site.

This park includes two all-season areas for large and small dogs, as well as a large lawn area that opens seasonally.

Only the small and large dog all-season areas are open year-round; the main lawn area is open from approximately April 1 to Nov. 1 each year.

Amenities include an agility area, with jump walls and weave poles. A paw wash and pet drinking fountain also is provided.

PCC Rock Creek

This 1.7-acre off-leash area opened in September 2013.

The park includes a small dog paddock, a winter paddock with wood chips for use during the wet season, and a large, sloped area. Only the winter paddock is open year-round, with the remaining areas open from approximately April1 to Nov. 1 each year.

The site includes benches, a water fountain, a concrete entry and a chain link fence. Parking spots have been designated for dog park users.

Schiffler Park Dog Run

In August 2019, at the urging of Schiffler Park neighbors, THPRD set up a "pop-up" dog run and asked for public input on making the dog run a regular feature. The response was overwhelmingly supportive and THPRD sought permit approval from the City of Beaverton. The permit was approved in March 2020, and in July a new dog run was added to the small lawn at the west end of the park.

Per THPRD’s Parks Functional Plan, a dog run differs from a traditional dog park in that it is a smaller fenced area designated for dogs to exercise and socialize off leash, it typically contains less amenities than a traditional dog park, and is designed to serve a local neighborhood.

The dog run at Schiffler Park is approximately 10,000 square feet and includes 4-foot-high chain link fencing and a dog bag dispenser. This site is surfaced with wood chips, making the space operational year-round.

Jackie Husen Dog Run

In December 2019, THPRD opened a dog run at Jackie Husen Park as a one-year pilot project. The park was monitored by staff, volunteers, and park users while community input was sought throughout the process via a neighborhood questionnaire and a website feedback option. Following the pilot project, in December 2020, the dog run was approved by THPRD management to be added as a permanent amenity at the park.

Per THPRD’s Parks Functional Plan, a dog run differs from a traditional dog park in that it is a smaller fenced area designated for dogs to exercise and socialize off leash, it typically contains less amenities than a traditional dog park, and is designed to serve a local neighborhood.

The dog run at Jackie Husen Park is located in the back-northeast section of the park and is approximately 7,500 square feet. It includes 4-foot-high field fencing, a dog bag dispenser, and the surface is wood chips.

Help keep our parks clean and safe

To keep parks clean, safe and sanitary, we ask that all patrons abide by the following THPRD rules and regulations regarding dogs:

• THPRD may post the exclusion of domestic animals from designated park sites during special events, when overcrowding or activities may limit the enjoyment or safety of others.
• Dogs are prohibited in park areas designated as no-dog areas, except guide dogs per ORS 346.
• A dog brought into or kept in other park areas shall be on a leash not more than eight feet in length, or confined in a vehicle, and must be kept under control at all times.
• Dog owners are responsible for the immediate removal of all solid waste deposited on any park property.

Dog waste disposal bags can be found on the rules and regulations posts at most THPRD parks. If you have any questions regarding the dog waste bags, please call the THPRD Maintenance Operations office at 503-629-6360.
