Are you seeking a spacious park where your dog can roam free and make new friends? Look no further than Hondo Dog Park. Spanning almost 4 acres, this park offers a large mixed-size dog play area, a dedicated space for small or timid dogs, and even a special winter use area for year-round enjoyment. Named in honor of a true hero, Hillsboro Police K9 Dog Officer "Hondo," this park is a testament to bravery and devotion.

Step into Hazeldale Park and Dog Park, where adventure awaits amidst 11 acres of greenery and recreation. With an off-leash dog area generously provided by the Presbytery of the Cascades Church, as well as fascinating sculptures by artist Stacy Levy, this park offers both afun and artistic inspiration.
Transition to Summerlake Dog Park, a beautifully landscaped oasis where dogs can frolic and play to their heart's content. With amenities such as double-gated entry, drinking water faucets, and a shelter for shade, this park ensures a comfortable and enjoyable experience for you and your furry friend.
