Edith Moulton Off Leash Area — Attraction in Kirkland

This dog park is amazing! It’s in the back of a beautiful park that has two entrances. One is up a paved maintenance road and the other is a stroll through a beautiful PNW connecting forest. The park for humans has a very nice walking path, grass field, covered picnic table area, restrooms, kids climbing web and a very mellow stream. I’ve never had a problem with any other dogs while there and my pups are no angels themselves so that’s saying something. The trails through the enclosed park are wide and have some terrain to them for a good work out. Street parking only but a lot of designated and handicapped spaces also. The park is fully handicapped accessible with even a grated elevated trail through some of the forested area. The park, forest and dog park are well maintained, clean and right next to an elementary school so police patrolled from time to time. It’s a safe and inviting area from...

I was at Edith Moulton approximately December 8th 2022 it's been redone and it's fine that they did a pretty good job.

Anyway it's nice more child friendly these days. Right next to the school happy for them easy access. I have to believe they added restrooms yet I didn't see them. There is a creek that runs through there that's awfully fun the views I think are breathtaking. A nice swing rope swing...

DO NOT GO ON A WEEKEND

The dog park is /awesome/. Fenced off winding trails with plenty of dog bag receptacles. A little muddy when it rains but that's a given.

What isn't awesome are the poorly trained and aggressive dogs that show up on the weekends. I have been going for months during the week and early mornings and never had an issue until today when I went at 5 on a Sunday. I had to get between my dog and "koda" as its mentally incompetent owners tried to call it away as it repeatedly snapped at and chased my dog in an extremely aggressive manner. When we were trying to leave someone else's leashed dog was barking, snarling, and snapping at mine just outside the gate.

Unfortunately what the park needs is a membership that can be revoked and "dog/owner evaluation" to keep the rabble out, as much as I hate such a bougie...
