Five Dog Parks Located in Clinton, Freeland, Coupeville and Oak Harbor ,Washington
Run, Fido, run! Where can you say that and mean it?Enter Whidbey Island dog park heaven, where dogs can run for miles or acres. The parks are easily accessible just 35 minutes north of Seattle and a 20 minute ferry ride at Mukilteo to Whidbey Island in Washington State. Each park's characteristics and terrain are quite different from one another with five choices from Clinton to Oak Harbor, the south and north ends of the island. Whidbey Island is a forty-mile long island nestled in Puget Sound, just north of Seattle. Tourists flock to this beautiful paradise and it is heaven to their canines.
Locals are very protective of their rights to these beautiful dog play areas and proper etiquette is mandatory. Dogs should be dog friendly and voice reliable. We are fortunate to have these wonderful canine playgrounds.
MARGUERITE BRONS MEMORIAL PARK for forest trail walk lovers. Located in Clinton, Washington, just twelve minutes from the Clinton ferry and off Highway 525 on Whidbey Island.
Thirteen acres of meadow and woods this is a coveted local park. The wooded area is completely fenced so you can feel secure Fido won't get distracted and disappear into the leaves. The trails are constantly being maintained and new trails added for an amazing 11-acre walk for tongue hanging out exercise.
The 2-acre meadow has seating, a picnic table, a newly installed solar panel for night lighting and a water well to keep dogs hydrated. There are also balls and other toys available for play. My dogs love to run on the wooded trails. The trails are big enough to stay away from clumps of dogs, and wide enough to meet doggie friends under the forest canopy.
How to get there:
From SR 525 head south on Bayview Road about 1/2 mile. The park entrance is on the left (south) side of Bayview Road.
DOUBLE BLUFF for ocean beach bums. Located north of Marguerite Brons Memorial Park, and between Clinton and Freeland and about 20 minutes from the Clinton ferry. It is just a few minutes south of Freeland, Washington on Whidbey Island.
