Pop-up Dog Parks

POP-UP DOG PARKS

Current Status for 2026

• Pop-up dog parks at Luke McRedmond Park and Hartman Park closed for the season in August 2026.
• A permanent dog park will be constructed at Luke McRedmond in Fall 2026, with an anticipated opening in October 2026. Design and planning are now complete.

The permanent dog park at Luke McRedmond will include:

• Design largely based on a successful pop-up dog park
• Natural irrigated turf, renovated to be a more resilient and sustainable fescue blend, designed specifically for dog parks (PT 767 Dog Park Eco-Lawn Mix with Microclover® - Pro Time Lawn Seed)
• Small and/or anxious dog area
• Large and/or social dog area
• Double-gated, fully accessible entry system
• Two separate entrances/exits with a double-gated system - main entrance on the north end of the park, and a second entrance on the south end
• Universal design for accessibility
• Permanent shade structures (one on each side)
• Trees planted to provide future shade
• 5' tall chain link fencing
• Benches and new picnic tables
• Hard surface entrance area
• Hard surface paths to shelters for universal access
• Improved drinking fountain for universal access, water bottle filler, and dog water bowl
• Doggi-pot stations and waste receptacles

Project History

Since 2023, Redmond’s pop-up dog parks have provided dedicated, accessible spaces for dogs and their owners to exercise and socialize. These temporary parks have helped the City evaluate different locations and community needs while planning for a permanent off-leash dog area.

Due to the success of Redmond’s first pop-up dog park at Luke McRedmond Park in 2023, a second location was added at Hartman Park in 2024. Both pop-up dog parks will return this year! Each park will be fully fenced, with separate areas for small and large dogs, and will receive regular maintenance and trash pickup.
