Willis D. Tucker Park Dog Park gives dogs nearly eight fenced acres in three distinct play spaces: a six-acre meadow, a 1.25-acre forest area with off-leash trails and a 0.20-acre enclosure for shy dogs. The dog areas sit in the northeast corner of Willis D. Tucker Community Park in Snohomish.

Find the off-leash area
Enter Willis D. Tucker Community Park from Puget Park Drive and use the parking area near the northeast side of the park. The official map places the meadow, forest and shy-dog enclosures together beyond the nearby parking lot. Dogs must remain leashed everywhere outside the fenced off-leash areas.

Choose a space that fits your dog
The open meadow provides the largest running area. The forest enclosure offers a shaded off-leash walk, while the much smaller shy-dog enclosure gives dogs that need a quieter setting their own fenced space. Follow the labels and posted signs rather than assuming the shy-dog area is reserved only by weight.
Water and wet-weather preparation
The county asks visitors to bring their own bowl and not share bowls between dogs because illnesses can spread through communal water. The wooded area can hold moisture after wet weather, so bring shoes with traction and a towel when conditions are muddy.
Rules before entering
Keep your dog leashed on a lead no longer than eight feet until you are inside an off-leash enclosure. Remain present and maintain voice control. Dogs must have current vaccinations; sick dogs, dogs in heat, puppies younger than six months and dogs with dangerous or aggressive behavior are not allowed. Pick up waste, fill holes and control excessive barking.
What park visitors say
Park goers often appreciate having both a broad meadow and a wooded walking area, with a separate space for dogs that prefer less activity. Visitors also mention the shade and nearby parking. Wet ground in the forest and seasonal changes to the water dispenser are common reasons to bring a towel, water and a bowl.
