Jasper’s Dog Park

The dog park totally blows. It’s full of mud mixed with years of dog feces and pee. I went and walked in it barefoot and I got an infection. My toe swelled up so badly that the nail fell off and my toe exploded with green puss. Then the infection spread to my neck causing me to look like someone that had been attacked by a rabid Chimpanzee. Also I had massive bout of diarrhea. Then my hair fell out.
Don’t take your dog here.

Awful dog park terrible vibe, woman on cellphone whilst her dog proceeded to bite our dog and not in a playful way. Not the best park we have been to we cannot put our fingers on it the park itself not bad a bit muddy but just the general vibe we won’t go again

Smaller dog park for locals, my German Shepard Natalia really loves the park and has a great time every time we go. Very convenient, but not one for someone looking for an out of the way park. If you want that check out Marymoor Park in Redmond or Warren G across the pond :) I see a couple or reviews about dogs fighting, I havent seen this happen more than any other park. I would say that the few times I have seen it happen it happen is when they are really packed up and run towards teh entrance at new dogs (Owners need to break that behavior up a little), or when they are kept on a leash upon entering the park (Big no no). Love frequenting this park as it is small and quaint, expect to meet a few cool people almost every trip!

This place is a ghetto of dog parks. If you own a dog that can intimidate its way up the hood social hierarchy — it probably works. Otherwise just drive to Marymoor.

Do not go to this park. It is over run by aggressive dogs and owners that have no business going out in public. There is a pit bull that I have seen at the park a few times that is just bad. Only a matter of time before it bites someone or another dog, the owner just stands around very lazily and does nothing. This pit bull and owner give other pit bulls and owners a bad name. (for you pit bull owners I have seen many great pitty’s) Too many aggressive dogs that would not able to walk around in better run dog parks. Don’t waste your time or support.

I love this place but I do agree with almost every negative review as they hold a solid grain of reality. Fortunately my boy doesn’t get out of hand and I never have had issues with him getting in the middle or starting something with the big packs… but I have had instances of frustration over people not reigning in their dogs and just brushing aside others concerns as they chat it up… The park itself is great with good space and no street noise to worry about.

The last time we were there, we saw no less then 3 dog fights among neutered males within 20 minutes, and yet the park has a «NO UN-​NEUTERED DOGS» policy. Judging by our experience and the number of Unilocal posts about aggressive dogs in this park, discriminating against testicles has done nothing to reduce dog fights. I would theorize that because many owners believe that castrating their dogs is a substitute for discipline /​obedience, this irrational rule is in fact enabling dog aggression.

I will admit I’ve been spoiled by Renton’s off-​leash and if it wasn’t for that fact, Jasper’s *might* rate higher.
My largest gripe is the lack of water on site and how people are allowing their dogs to act in a «pack» fashion at the entry.
Today, my dog was accosted by a minimum of 10 dogs. Instead of interacting with their dogs, people are just socially congregating with one another.
The only reason I don’t kick Jasper’s down to a one star is because it is in a peaceful location with a lot of beautiful greenery. Although this is a large-​ish park, due to the fact that the majority of people and dogs stay at the front near the gates, the area was muddy. There is bark spread through the area, but you can tell that a large area is not as utilized as the entry/​gate area.

Well maintained and friendly dog park! Lots of room for play, water stations, and a mini agility course.
Not good for a rainy day… great for summer days!

Very fortunate to live close to this dog park. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there is no grass what so ever and after it rains my Pomeranian can be a bit dirty! Definitely a plus that there is a separate small dog area here. There are trash cans nearby but I would bring your own poop bags and water.

Pretty small. You’d think a city like Kirkland would have a larger dog park. The size and the foundation it lays on isn’t good. It’s not a horrible dog park but it’s never my first choice

The idea is really good — however because of the few times I’ve been here I’ve had to give this off-​leash dog park 2 stars.
The last time we were here at this park, we could barely enter the gates!
The people here didn’t read or maybe they couldn’t read? I dunno but about 5 large dogs barricaded the entry gate. We had to push and ask a person the inside if they could get the dogs (large ones at that) away from the entry gate.
Perhaps since dogs can’t read — perhaps their humans should have —
There has been aggressive dogs there — the last time I went was 1 week ago — there was an aggressive dog that followed my Golden around trying to «date» her (read humping) — and then growling and snapping at her when she tried to get away. This behavior continued mid-​park range to about 10 feet from the gate.
Poo bags — bring your own. Bring water.
I know that there is garbage bin but not close by.
People get a handle on your dogs!
Also– I hate beating up on the only off-​leash park in Kirkland– it’s needed!

We’ve taken our 9 month Boston Terrier here 3 times so far on weekend. We started with small dog area to get our Bostie warmed up and then we move to big dog area. Never had a problem. All dogs are within limits. We’ve had dogs get a bit assertive with our dog but we ask owners to let the dogs work it out & it normally does. Yes there have been dogs hump ours but there is no harm given it helps that our dog is neutered. If our dog has problems with the dominance behavior, he’d express it & it gets worked out as dogs do. It’s a great place to take your dog and its contained! Love that we don’t have to go to Marymoor. So close to home!
There was at least one odd person who was freaky there. Only seen this guy there once. He stayed in far corner of the large dog area and got into verbal confrontation with another dog owner.

Let me first start by saying. «Hooray! I love the physical dog park itself!»
I have a husky mix and we LOVE to run together. Sometimes, however, I’m not in the mood to run or am coming down with something and don’t want to aggravate it or I’ve got other crap to do and it’s easier to take my girl to a park and run her down because if you don’t know this already, a tired husky makes a happy family.
The dogpark itself is nice– it’s big with lots of different terrain for my girl to run. It’s not quite big enough to let her open up the throttle, but she at least gets her zoomies out. It has two entrances and a place for small dogs to play, which helps with the walmart greeter dogs that like to gather around the gates. There’s plenty of stations for bags for poopers and generally, it’s in a really great location. My girl and I LOVE coming here.
I guess I have to qualify that. My girl and I LOVE coming here… on the weekdays.
We’ve noticed a trend that basically after about .230ish on Friday, people get a little bit more lax. My dog isn’t some helpless waif. She’s known to stand up for herself if others get in her business (especially when she’s doing her business, after that, she’s all good).Last weekend (1÷10−1÷11) was so especially bad that we’re taking a break. We visited a couple times to let her run and do her thing and both times, we were confronted with aggressive dogs who tried to corner the newbie. This story is from Sunday: we were approaching the gate and I heard barking and yelling. I had a bad feeling, but my girl was so excited that I didn’t want to make her leave when she was almost to the gate. Anyway, we get in the staging area and this dog walks in as soon as I open the gate to the park and starts snarling. Before I could leash back up, off they went into the park. I figured that maybe this dog was one of those that snarled when it had fun (I’ve met a few). That is, until this dog cornered my girl and picked a fight. As I said, mine isn’t a doormat. The man who this dog belonged to said it had never happened before (sure.) and while my girl cowered behind me, I talked to the man until I was pretty sure it was a losing battle to convince him that that his dog was the aggressor we left. Apparently since my dog bared her teeth after having her butt chomped on, SHE was the aggressive one. My dog can get carried away, but seriously! We at least try to leave if she gets carried away! To top it off, I got all sorts of passive aggressive comments before this about how she «looks so scary.» and nobody wants a scary dog at the park. (this is while she was in submissive getting a tummy rub). A golden would look scary with it’s teeth bared too!
TL:DR: Physically, a great park. Stay away on the weekends.

Pretty good park for your four legged family members.
Pros:
–Huge area for your dogs to run, run, run and run more.
–Nice tree area on top of the hill which provides shade and another run area for your dogs to play keep away.
–There’s a small dog area that’s separate from the big dogs area which is a favorite of mine. I don’t know how many times that I’ve seen a tea cup something or other get rolled up on because they act like they’re bigger and badder than the 175lb. Great Dane that’s running by which of course causes the tea cup owner to be angry with the Great Dane owner. «How dare your dog provoke my poor little princess»? I’ve actually heard this before.
–Secure gates so you don’t have to worry about dogs running off.
Cons:
–When it rains, it gets super muddy because there’s no grass, just mud and beauty bark/​mulch.
–Needs a little better upkeep. Maybe charge $ 1 for usage? This way you could even add an agility course or another attraction.

I have been taking my dogs to this park and I loved it… but I am not going to take them to this place any more… I saw these two aggressive rottweilers attacking other dogs today. I’ve seen them a few times and I knew they have been rough on others. But today… they attacked another dog till the dog started bleeding from his leg :(
The worst part is the owner… she was chatting with other people all the time and not paying attention to her rottweilers. When this incident happened, she took away her rottweilers and almost pretended like nothing happened. I don’t think she even apologized to the other dog’s owner. Terrible, irresponsible dog owner!

Went here on a rainy day on the suggestion of a fellow dog owner. This is an awesome park that doesn’t turn into a mud pit in the rain.
There is a small agility course set up at the top left of the hill with two jumps, a ramp, and a fake hollow log to run through.
Overall I was very impressed with this park although their weren’t any other dogs due to the rain it was great playing fetch with the hill our dog was tired out quickly running all the way up the hill several times!

After Magnuson, this park was somewhat of a letdown but still worth going to.
Pros–
–lots of room to roam
–2 parks — one for big dogs, one for small
–free parking
— conveniently located
— generally friendly people who seemed like regulars
Cons–
–a few outright aggressive dogs not properly handled. You have to moniter and act.
–terrain was slanted uphill, not straight. Made it a hike and limited movement.

Finally got the pup all vaccinated and could take her to the dog park! I like how this place has 2 sections, one for big dog and one for small dogs. We can on saturday and it was of course pretty busy. Unfortunately, none of the smaller dogs were in the small dog pen. They were busy buzzing around playing fetch and wrestling with the «big kids.»
As soon as we entered the park, the people there were really friendly and some of them could tell that we were «new guys.» It was funny. Our 6 month old did pretty well but I am not sure if she was in the mood to play so we stayed for 15-​ish minutes before it started to rain anyways and we went home. We didn’t want to push it.
We did however get some pretty good off leash training and once this awful weather goes away, I am definitely going to bring her back.

I think I like this place more than my dog does!

1. It’s a dog park.
