High Bridge Dog Park is Spokane’s 9.3-acre fenced off-leash park, combining flat and hilly ground with open areas, mature trees and informal paths. A 2024 renovation added new large- and small-dog areas, an accessible dog-park area, new fencing and gates, improved surfacing and expanded paved parking.

Explore open ground, trees and hills
The park’s scale allows for more movement than a compact neighborhood dog run. The large area includes open space, wooded pockets, slopes and rugged natural features. The small and accessible areas provide alternatives when a dog or handler needs a more contained setting.
Prepare for changing conditions
Recent visitors describe shade, shelters, benches, water fountains and wood-chip or improved surfaces, but conditions can vary by season. Steeper paths may be difficult after rain or snow, and lighting is limited after dark. Bring water, a bowl, waste bags, sturdy shoes and a towel.
Rules before entering
Dogs must be vaccinated, and handlers must clean up waste immediately. Remove an aggressive dog at once; dogs in heat and dogs classified as potentially dangerous or dangerous are prohibited. Stay inside the park, supervise your dog and keep a leash ready. Handlers must be at least 16; younger visitors require adult supervision.
What park visitors say
Park goers value the unusually large space, wooded trails, hills, shade and choice of fenced areas. Some visitors appreciate using a smaller enclosure for lower-stimulation play. They also mention steep terrain, seasonal mud, limited evening light and occasional crowd-management concerns, so active supervision matters.
