Manson Bay Park — Attraction in Washington

Visited the dog park off to the right of the main beach park. It's a small fenced area along the road with a little bit of grass for dogs to run and relieve themselves. Probably great for dog owners with pups that love to swim, since there's calm water access for them. My only gripe is that my wily pup explores and climbed over the rocky edge and around the fence that doesn't go all the way to the water, so he was able to get outside of the park and jetted right into the street. I about had a heart attack and fortunately it was early so no cars came by. Do not recommend if you have a runner or a dog that explores boundaries, because both ends of the dog park are not secure and the fence entrance is also opening a lot and right by the road for any...

A well made and beautiful park. In the summer it's a great place to bring your family and enjoy the water. The grass is limited so you might have trouble claiming a spot for your picnic blanket.

Review about the dog park. We didn't hit the main area.

Be careful with the dog park as it's not completely fenced in. The right side is fenced in with plastic strip. So I wouldn't suggest coming if your dog runs off or doesn't listen. It is off of the main road where there is a bend so be careful getting out and in your vehicle it's a small parking area. With that being said if it is full I would come back. It's just a small off the leash strip for your pup to experience the water.

I did take all of my 4 kids and pup. We had fun for 30 min letting out dog experience the water. Will definitely come...
