Mt. Tabor Dog Park Review

By Living Room Realty, May 14, 2019

Mt. Tabor is one of the best-known parks in all of Portland. Hundreds of people visit each day for hiking along the numerous trails of this extinct volcano. Views from the top are legendary because of the 360-degree panorama that makes it possible to see downtown, Mt. Rainer to the North, and Mt. Hood to the East. While the main park allows on-leash dogs, at the most southern end of the park, below Lincoln/Harrison Roads, there is an off-leash dog area that can be accessed from the streets that go through Warner Pacific University.

 

The dog park, like the rest of Tabor, is filled with massive trees that provide plenty of shade even on Portland’s sunniest days. The off-leash area makes for a great launching point to explore the rest of Mt. Tabor Park, but be prepared for a climb! The dog area marks the beginning of the mountain, meaning that your pup will get plenty tired as they sprint up and down the steep incline. While most dogs will love the terrain (and owners will love how tired it makes them), you may want to think twice before bringing older dogs or young puppies. Running full speed down a mountain can put a lot of strain on a dog’s joints and a few wipeouts are entirely possible.

 

All of Mt. Tabor is gorgeous and worthy of exploration, but for those with furry friends, the southern section should be the first stop.
