Fort Steilacoom Park

Fort Steilacoom Park, Off-Leash Dog Park

At 340 acres, Ft. Steilacoom Park is the largest park in Lakewood providing a diverse mix of active and passive recreation. It features an expansive trail system, baseball, softball and soccer fields, state-of-the-art playground, permanent orienteering course, a radio controlled aircraft area for hobbyists, 22 acre off-leash dog park, two picnic shelters and year-round restrooms. We even have a dedicated 5k route through our trails and walkers can follow the Discovery Trail markers around our nearly 1-mile long paved Waughop Lake Trail loop.

Landscaped with bushes, trees and logs, this area is the perfect playground for dogs of all sizes. There are also water fountains and benches for you and your dog to stay cool. It even includes a separate fenced area for small dogs.

The Fort Steilacoom Dog Park opened in 2006 and draws visitors from throughout South Puget Sound. Since its opening, it has received numerous accolades. This includes being named “Best Dog Park” in Western Washington in 2017 by King 5’s Evening Magazine and Best Dog Park in the South Sound by South Sound Magazine.

In addition to the fenced off-leash area, Fort Steilacoom Park has a paved trail around Waughop Lake and a diverse terrain trail system for those looking to switch up their normal dog walking routines. Leashes are required outside of the dog park. Before visiting please read the dog park rules and regulations.
