Hard to find - but worth the search
Patricia Simonet Laughing Dog ParkOkay, Google gives completely wrong directions to this place. So here’s the true scoop:
If you are headed West in I-90 (towards Seattle) turn Right at the end of the off ramp, roll under the blinking yellow light & turn left just at the road curves to the right. You will see the fenced dog park in your left.
If you are headed East on I-90 (towards Coeur d’Alene), turn Left at the end of the off ramp, go over I-90, roll under the blinking yellow light and then turn left just as the main road starts to curve to the right. You will see the fenced area on your left and that’s the dog park..
The dog park itself is fully fenced with 6 foot chain-link. It has a big open area in the front with some agility equipment and there is a large wooded area which has a nice path around it easy to stroll on for people while the dogs go and inspect all the trees or chase a ball. There are a couple covered picnic tables as well and it appears that there is water on site during the summer months, but it has been turned off now for winter. all in all quite a lovely park especially for a summer stop with this nice shaded treat area.
Big fenced rectangle
Pawfoot Dog ParkThis park is just a big fenced rectangle behind some baseball/soccer fields.
There is a smaller section and a big section as well as a water fountain, but it has been turned off for winter.
Best Park Ever!!!!
Hugh Rogers WAG ParkWe live this park & bring our three dogs with us from Seattle just so they can come here to play. The swimming pond is the best feature and our labra-hound runs straight for it and will swim for hours, even in the October cold. The running area includes this big hill with tunnels through it and the dogs love to run up, down, around and through. It’s like a dog version of hide-n-seek. The people of Whitefish are blessed to have such a nice park and should do a better job of picking up their poops - my only complaint is that poo pick-up isn’t really even encouraged. Back in Seattle you would be verbally shamed by multiple people is you just walked off and left a poop. Someone is more likely to say, “ hey your dog pooed, need a bag?” Maybe that sort of campaign would be beneficial here?
Small but Fun
Dog Park at McEuen ParkVisited in the evening of 10/22/23. This is inside McEuen Park. Small and divided into two sections, but my three still enjoyed running around and bounding through the elevated dog tunnel and weave poles.
Good Little Park
Central Bark Dog ParkWe visited this park today (10/23/2023) for a quick run before getting back on the road. This is fully fenced with some nice oak trees that provide good shade in the summer. It is kind of L-shaped with a long narrow entry - which is paved - then opens up into a larger field. Hours posted are 6am-10pm. We were there early at like 9-9:30 and only one other dog there. The poo is kinda bad in the corners where the grass is tall which makes it hard to pick up. I give it only 4 bones because if this.
Dog Friendly Good Food
Sweet Lou's Restaurant & Tap HouseRight across the street from McEuen Park Sweet Lous is very dog friendly and welcomed our three on the large covered patio. Brought out doggie bowls for each. Food was very good too as was beer and the service was great! A dog mom/dad must!
