Spokane’s pups have spoken, and being cooped up is ruff. If your furry friend is pacing the floor with pent-up energy or casting those dramatic puppy-dog eyes at the door, it might be time for some tail-wagging action! Fortunately, Spokane is home to some pretty epic dog parks, where zoomies reign supreme, fetch is a full-time job, and paw-sitive vibes are contagious, so leash up, grab some treats, and let’s explore Spokane’s best off-leash hangouts!

High Bridge Dog Park
330 S A Street, Spokane
509.534.8133
High Bridge Dog Park made history as Spokane’s very first dog park when it opened in 2011, and today, it spans nearly 9.3 acres of diverse terrain. With a blend of expansive, flat fields for energetic romps and hilly treed areas for refreshing shade and exploration, the park offers a well-rounded experience for pups of all breeds.
A significant fall 2024 renovation introduced dedicated zones for both small and large dogs, modern fencing and secure gates, smooth surfacing, improved entry/exit, including ADA-accessible options, and expanded paved parking, tailoring the space to both canine play and community connection.

Valley Mission Dog Park
1521 N Bowdish Road, Spokane
At Valley Mission Dog Park, dogs rule, and humans drool (figuratively, of course). The fenced paradise boasts state-of-the-art agility gear to challenge even the most energetic pups, complete with jumps, ramps, and weaving poles, while clearly defined play zones give pint-sized pooches their own safe spot to frolic.
Humans get perks, too, with dual drinking fountains (one for you, one for Fido) and a dog wash station that’s a lifesaver for owners whose playful pooches can’t resist a roll in the dirt. Pro tip: Bring extra tennis balls and your comfiest chair. This park’s vibes might just have you staying all day!

Downtown Spokane Dog Park
1200 W Riverside Avenue, Spokane
Who says city pups can’t have off-leash fun? Downtown Spokane Dog Park, as the city’s first urban pupper playground, packs a punch in its pocket-sized plot. Nestled where Sprague and Riverside collide and designed, especially for downtown residents, this fenced-in slice of puppy paradise transforms a busy city corner into a “concrete jungle” escape that lets high-rise hounds burn energy between coffee runs and Zoom meetings.
With friendly faces and frolicsome fun at every turn, this park proves that even in the bustling heart of downtown, there’s always time to pause and relish a bit of pure, playful doggie delight.

SCRAPS Dog Park
26715 Spokane Bridge Road, Spokane
There’s no such thing as barking up the wrong tree at the Patricia Simonet Laughing Dog Park, also known as the SCRAPS or Stateline Dog Park! Officially named to honor Patricia Simonet, a SCRAPS animal behaviorist who theorized dogs could laugh, this park was built with canine joy in mind.
A peaceful wooded area offers plenty of sniffing opportunities, while the dirt play zone featuring an agility-style tube lets active pups test their speed and skills. With picnic tables for human hangouts, paved paths for leisurely strolling, and those essential cleanup stations, it’s a park built for shared laughter and furry friendship.
So say goodbye to those pent-up puppy sighs, Spokane! With a lineup of dog parks this good, your furry companion is just a leash clip away from open spaces, friendly faces, and a whole lot of happy romping.
