PLEASE NOTE: Bothell Municipal Code, 8.60.240 Pets in Park Facilities: Dogs, pets or domestic animals are not permitted on any designated swimming beach, sports fields, picnic or play areas in any Bothell park or in any building unless specifically permitted by posting; provided, that this section shall not apply to the use of a trained animal by a disabled person.
In 2023/2024, as part of the recently approved 2023-2029 Capital Facilities Plan, the Parks Department is planning to conduct a siting and feasibility study to determine where a permanent dog park can be located in Bothell. As more information becomes available about future pop-ups and/or a permanent dog park, we will post information on social media and our webpage.
The current Bothell Pop-up Dog Park approximate schedule is to open before Memorial Day Weekend and close mid to late September. We have to close this amenity to restore the lawn and maintain the open space during the rainy/wet season.
