Crestview Park — Attraction in Tukwila

Pros: My go-to dog park for a year! Has agility toys such as a seesaw, ramp, tunnel, and steps. Park is currently doing renovations intermittently. Added a path down the middle of the park with a spot for rain cover as well as more agility toys. Separate parks for big dogs and small dogs. Mostly grass in both parks. Large park, the big dog side you can loose sight of your dog over a small hill. Lots of "regulars" so you can get to know other owners/your dog can get to know other dogs and make friends!

Cons: They recently started renovations and completely tore up the grass in a good portion of the park, making it EXTREMELY muddy. I now need to rinse my dog off EVERY time we go here, because she gets so caked in mud. This is not possible to avoid, either. Because of renovations, the water fountain in the entrance is no longer working. BRING YOUR OWN WATER AND BOWL IF YOU PLAN GO BE THERE FOR A WHILE. Only one entrance. Lots of flippant owners who come and just sit there and don't monitor their dogs, which is a safety hazard. Not the parks fault but wanted to mention this. Not all owners of small dogs actually use the small dog park (could be dangerous if a large dog with high prey drive came to the park.) There has been several times that people smoke a cigarette inside the park despite there being rules against it.

All in all a great dog park!! It sucks they're doing renovations NOW while it rains so often when they really should have done it during the summer so that the dogs wouldn't get SO muddy, but hopefully the renovations...

The park is small but cozy.

There's a small playground which is kept clean. There's a single veranda with a barbeque, which is reserved and in use by families fairly often. There is a short wooded trail which is narrow but paved and pleasant. There is a basketball court that doesn't have any baskets (it's only poles and backboards, if I recall correctly). There's also a baseball diamond I've only ever seen used to run dogs off leash, which is aggravating given that a quarter of the park is a fenced off-leash dog park.

Which leads me to my chief complaint: no one at this park keeps their dogs leashed. Every time I have gone to this park, there have been individuals letting their dogs run off-leash around the park. My dog and I have been charged at by neighborhood chihuahuas or over-enthusiastic labradors -- OUTSIDE of the designated areas -- on every visit. I think the coziness of the park makes it too easy for local residents to simply let their dogs out to run, which is terribly inconsiderate.

There is also no restroom. There used to be a singular portajohn by the playground but it was removed a few months ago. (This does seem to coincide with a decrease in cars camping out in the parking lot.)

On the plus side: its open areas are maintained and easily walked, with three Pokestops and a Pokegym for those looking for a...

Nice grassy park for pups. I wish the small dog area was a bit more level, the hill makes it difficult for my 13 pound chihuahua/terrier mix to run full out so we usually go to the large dog area if it's not busy. Would also be nice if they would block off the areas where there is a large gap between the fencing and ground. The only con is when dog walkers bring lots of dogs at one time and cannot keep them all in sight and under control. When that happens I take my pup to the small dog area or we call it a day and head out.

The water is still shut off (as of April 2021) so bring water for your pup. Of all the parks we've visited in recent months this is our preferred one. Mostly grass with a few patches of dirt and mulch. I have seen evidence of muddy spots but it's been fairly dry since we started visiting so I can't speak to wetter times of the year. For now, it's a great spot for my little one to chase sticks and socialize with other pups. She's still a puppy so it's a good, open space for her to run all her energy out without having to drive down to...
