Shoreline, WALocal News

The Shoreview Off-Leash Dog Area (OLDA) in Seattle officially reopened its gates on January 18, 2025, following extensive renovations funded by the 2022 Parks Bond project. Situated at 700 NW Innis Arden Way, this beloved dog park is adjacent to Shoreview Park, providing a spacious area for dogs to play freely. The city completed most of the improvements ahead of schedule, showcasing effective project management and community commitment. While many enhancements are now operational, some features are still awaiting installation, which may lead to brief closures in certain areas. Currently, the park lacks water access, prompting the city to explore potential solutions for this essential amenity.

The community has expressed appreciation for the city's efforts, highlighting the importance of such recreational spaces for local residents and their pets. As park enhancements continue, visitors can look forward to an even more enjoyable experience at OLDA. For those interested, further details about other park bond projects can be found on the city's website.
