The Eastside Off-Leash Area will temporarily close beginning the week of March 9, 2015 during the hours of 8:00 am and- 5:00 pm to improve surfacing and drainage.

The City of Shoreline will place pea sized rounded gravel in the lowest areas of the park to resolve wet area issues. Closure is required to protect dogs and their owners from heavy equipment. The Off-Leash Area will be open between 5:00 p.m. and dusk during construction.

The pea gravel for this project is being reused from the playground upgrade project at Northcrest Park. Instead of hauling this material to the landfill, the City has chosen to recycle it as drainage and surfacing material at the Eastside Off-Leash Dog Area. A small pile will be created to the south of the pedestrian gate for a future volunteer work party to improve the entrance area. 

We apologize for the inconvenience. We will post construction updates and future work parties requiring park closure on the Off-Leash-Area website.
