Dog Anxiety: Causes, Signs & What Actually Helps
Many dogs show clear signs of dog anxiety, including pacing, panting, and seeking constant reassurance. If your dog paces, whines, […]

Silverton Dog Park is a locally loved destination for dog owners looking for a spacious, pet-friendly area to let their dogs run and play off-leash in Silverton, OR. The park features two fully fenced sections: one for small dogs (30 pounds and under), and another for large dogs (over 30 pounds), making it easy for owners to find the right space for their furry friends. With both grassy and bark chip surfaces, the park aims to reduce muddiness after rain and provides a safer, cleaner environment for play.
Unique amenities include plentiful parking, a double-gated entrance for added safety, seating such as chairs and a large picnic table, and shade provided by mature trees. A water spigot area ensures your pup can stay hydrated, and there are some bushy spots and a large tree for energetic sniffing or cooling off during the summer. While there’s a porta potty right outside for human visitors, keep in mind that trash cans and dog waste bags are located primarily near the entrance.
Not Useable!!! it’s just full of a bunch of heavy equipment. It’s all roped off. You can’t even use it.
2 separated fenced in areas with bark chips to limit mud). There is a small fenced in side and a large breed fenced in side (although the regulars with small dogs rarely use their side and just get pissed when your 80lb dog tries to play with their annoying ankle biter (just goto the small dog side, it’s there for a reason karen). And a lot of people have no problem grabbing/man handling your dog so go at your own risk and watch that no one is hurting your animal. It has picnic tables, chairs, rocks, shade and a couple trees to sit around.
Dog owners beware! Here at the Silverton dog park there appears to be a group of folks that have no consideration for others or perhaps they just don’t know how to read.
This evening I went to the park to bring my 10 pound dog to the play area for 30lbs and UNDER. And there were three large dogs who were clearly over the 30 pound mark. Note there were no dogs in the 30 pound and OVER area.
Now, when I arrived with my dog, do you think they had consideration to maybe move their dogs over to the area designated for their dogs? No they just advised their dogs wouldn’t bother my dog. Unfortunately, my dog just stayed by the front of the play area instead of us being able to play ball because of the other dogs. Very intimating for a little dog! Point here people is that there’s two spaces one for dogs UNDER 30 pounds and one for dogs OVER 30 pounds. This allows all folks to enjoy the space not just the privileged few.
