Currently, we are looking within Clark County to locate 5+ acres of land for dog parks w/parking.

We periodically ask members to vote through various methods, host public meetings, and offer traditional ways to contact us with your comments. Please contact our Development Chair to help plan and construct. Use the email link below or go to our "contacts page" for more options.

Here are the proposed off-leash sites and their current status:

Under Construction

• Hockinson [ Hockinson Park ]

Thanks, Brent (DOGPAW Member) and others for asking about new construction. We are finalizing paperwork to begin construction of dog parks in Camas, Washougal, and Vancouver Lake areas. The first location to get final approval, will be constructed first. Would you all like to volunteer for contruction or management? The more volunteers - the sooner you'll have a park in your neighborhood and the less we'll experience over-crowding at Dakota and Ross.
