BELLINGHAM, WA Lake Padden Park
4882 Samish Way
Bellingham, WA 98226
The training area marked behind the athletic field restroom facilities in southeastern part of the park in the area bounded by four (4) white posts marked "Dog Exercise Area"; bridle trails in the wooded portion of the Park west of Padden Creek Dam and Ruby Creek entrance into the Lake; and the trails in the south end of Lake Padden between the golf course power lines and trailhead off Samish Way. Dogs are required to be on a leash when on the around-the-lake trail. A dog water exercise area near the ballfield area is signed for dog training/exercise. Dogs are restricted to entering Lake Padden only at this area. BELLEVUE, WA
Robinswood Park
Off of 148th Ave. (the south end, intersecting with 124th and 122nd. SE.), near Bellevue Community CollegeTwo fenced fields. The larger corral has an improved fence but since other breeds run there, it is not an ideal place for greyhounds to run. The smaller field can be rented for exclusive greyhound use.

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Sand Point Magnuson ParkMAGNUSON PARK IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR USE BY GREYHOUNDS
Updated 9-9-08REDMOND, WA NOT ACCEPTABLE
Marymoor ParkREASONS WHY MARYMOOR IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR GREYHOUNDS
Marymoor Park is not fully and securely fenced. There are also many, many breeds of dogs who run at Marymoor and some very busy roads nearby.TACOMA, WA Rogers Park
3300 East L StreetUse this one with caution as some aggressive dogs and not-mindful owners have been frequenting this park lately. It is maintained by volunteers and by Metro Parks. It's a good size (perfect for running and fetching). It has two dog-proof gates and is totally fenced. There is a doggie water fountain, a bench for sitting and poop bags. I wouldn't, however, recommend the park after it has rained (at least for two days after). The park is in a low lying area so it can get muddy. http://www.tacomadogpark.com/ http://www.metroparkstacoma.org/page.php?id=26
