Our Parks

DOGPAW is extremely fortunate to have the use of public land for our parks, and we deeply thank the City of Vancouver, Clark County, and BPA for this usage! Our parks would not exist without their generous contribution. To keep the parks operational, we must be good tenants, and one aspect of that is to obey applicable laws, regulations, and the land owners’ needs and requirements. (See rules below.) Our safety rules reflect these regulations, laws, and needs, but above all, they preserve the safety of the dogs, humans, and the environment. Disobeying rules can lead to the parks being closed. Help us keep them open by being considerate to fellow park users, neighbors, and the property owners!
