Confirmed from Waggin' Tails Dog 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.
Large, shady park with benches for owners and separate areas for dogs of different breeds.
What runners say about Waggin' Tails Dog Park
“Working water fountains for both human and canine, and the facilities are well maintained and large enough for dozens of dogs.”
“There are dog (and also others for people) drinking fountains, lots of benches, and large shady oak trees.”
“My dog loved the freedom and attention from other dogs.”
If this is what doing time in Leavenworth is like, then sign me up!!! Maybe it's just this area of the country or something, but the last two dog parks I have been in have both been incredible!! This one also is extremely large and has a lot of old-growth trees in it so it has plenty of shade.
There is so much room for the dogs to run around. I also like that there are several benches to sit on. My dog enjoys it here. Plenty of trees provide much wanted shade and the water fountain on the way in is also a good idea.
Great Park! Waggin' Tails is a large, several acres, park with separate large and small dog areas. There are dog (and also others for people) drinking fountains, lots of benches, and large shady oak trees. The terrain is gently hilly and the grass is well maintained.
Our boxer dog, Max, was exhausted from playing with all his furry friends!. This maintained off lease park has 2 sections (small breed / large breed) with agility equipment, water fountains & bowls for your animals and benches & a walking loop for all. Our experience- Both owners & pets were engagingly friendly😃
