Confirmed from Albany Dog Park at Timber Linn Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakeside park featuring three fenced-in dog runs and an unfenced area for off-leash play next to the water.
What runners say about Albany Dog Park at Timber Linn Park
“Clean, lots of dog toys and she loved the off-leach area outside the dog park!”
“Large, fenced space for off-leash play in a beautiful park with on-leash walking options.”
“Otherwise, it's a great place with plenty of shade, benches, and water bowls.”
“Went with a friend to go fishing was a really nice quite park, great for fishing, dogs, and my kids loved watching the ducks.”
I come here with my two dogs as much as possible. It does get very muddy during winter and spring but my Labrador LOVES the mud and water so I dont mind. Very large areas for dogs to run. It would be good to have a light out there for winter time. Hard to see picking up poop when leaving too late.
This is the best dog park in the area. Huge with an off-leash area next to a pond and a park. If you come in the winter/wet months, expect to get muddy. The pond is stocked a few times a year, so you can fish while your dog runs around in the off-leash area. Currently there is a half downed tree that needs addressing.
We love taking our dogs here. The only thing I don't like is all the dust right now with it being so dry. Otherwise, it's a great place with plenty of shade, benches, and water bowls.
Nice little spot. Has water and an offleash area. Has large dog, small dog and antisocial dog runs. If it didnt get muddy I would give it 5 stars. 4.5 syars for being super nice park.
