Mukilteo Off Leash Dog Park

Today I came here and Most the time I come here On a daily basis I really enjoy this place unfortunately you get dumb dog owners that don’t know common courtesy. Or can control there aggressive dogs. While I was here today my dog like all other dogs sees a ball being thrown automatically goes running for it well he got to the ball first and this ridgeback almost a dark tan near red color wasn’t in the mood to share & attacks my dog. My dog is completely submissive and young as the ridgeback lunged for him my dog just laid on his back and the aggressive dog continued to attack him, as I run over there to rescue my dog the female owner is barely trying to remove here dog off of mine she gets here dog off before I make it over there she leaves without checking to see if my dog was ok she drove a burgundy SUV license plate Colorado # 370 RRZ I didn’t even have time to look at my dog and she was gone his eye was swollen shut and bleeding luckily I was able to get him home flush it out and for now the swelling is in control. On the sign it clearly says don’t bring toys /​balls likely to avoid dog fights Come on dog owners if you know your dog doesn’t share or you don’t want there toys ruined or played w/​by other dogs DONT bring them it’s a fight waiting to happen and it’s truly your fault for bringing them and knowing your dogs attitude. It’s like bringing cake to a birthday and telling all the other kids they can’t have some !! Biggest pet peeve at the dog park owners bringing toys & there protective dogs and expecting other dogs not to show interest in the toys/​balls bring there toys to a place were there isn’t others dogs if you don’t want to share !!!

Great location and large fenced area for pets. Plenty of benches to sit on and some climbing toys for dogs.

I recently discovered this park and enjoy the large area for the dog to run around in. Large fenced are with an additional «shy dog» area. My dog is not a big fan of the ramps and such, but if you have a show dog or one who enjoys the tunnels they will love this park.
My only unhappy comment is the lack of owner control over the larger dogs. It maybe that the park is so large that the owners don’t want to stay close with the dogs, however a few dogs intimidated my little one and I had to step in. It would be nicer if owners took responsibility for their own dogs, but for the most part all the dogs are very friendly.

This location is also posted to Unilocal as «Japanese Gulch Trails and Dog Park», which is also what the local municipality names it.
This is a wood chip covered, fully fenced arena with a few benches and a culvert for the dogs to run through. It’s big enough for frisbee catching and a tennis ball throw. There is very little shade. The parking lot has one porta-​potty.

It’s a giant mud pit. Hardly any dogs there ever. However, there are a tone of trails that run the length of the park and along the railroad tracks. Not «technically» off leash. But it’s always been pretty slow when I’m there. Just watch out for mountain bikers on the side trails.

Dog park: Currently the smaller off leash area is closed. Not sure why. So i cannot speak to the small park. The larger off leash area is a great place for your medium to large size dogs to run around. Like everyone has mentioned, this is all bark/​mulch and easily becomes a mud pit. It has not rained in a few days, only frosty in the morning and that is enough to make it muddy out here. Bring towels, water, and boots. I went mid morning so it pretty empty. Probably gets crowded in the afternoon and especially on drier days.
Trails: hiked part of the narrow trail then decided to cut down into the lower trail about a mile in so i could walk across the other side of the stream where it is more of a road. The trailhead is at the dog park parking lot. As mentioned in other posts, this is a narrow trail that people enjoy mtn biking on. Not enough room for you and your dog to be side by side though.

Great park! The people are considerate and the dogs are well behaved. It’s the perfect size for me to work with client dogs learning to be off leash. I also really enjoy the trail area next to the park. My dogs lose it as soon as we pull into the parking lot so they give it 5 stars too!

I love this place, I go with my husky and shepherd every sunny day!
Bring your own water and a towel as your pups will likely become very muddy.
