McCormick Dog Park offers a unique experience for dog owners seeking a blend of nature and adventure with their furry friends. Located in Gig Harbor, Washington, this spacious park is fully fenced and features a large, open play area surrounded by picturesque wooded trails. The off-leash park spans a generous acreage, allowing dogs to exercise, socialize, and explore to their hearts’ content. Dog-friendly hiking loops and natural trails wind through the forest, perfect for active pets and their owners who enjoy the outdoors year-round.
One of the highlights of McCormick Dog Park is its focus on both canine enrichment and owner enjoyment. Unlike traditional dog parks, you’ll find an extensive network of walking trails that allows you and your pet to hike together, with plenty of opportunities for off-leash training and play. The peaceful, pet-friendly atmosphere is popular with locals and visitors, providing everything from secluded paths for shy dogs to community open spaces for energetic pups to meet new friends. Do dress accordingly, as the trails can be muddy after rain, and enjoy a true slice of Gig Harbor’s natural beauty!
I really like the fact that this is a trail rather than just a place where the dogs play and you watch them. The dogs have the opportunity to interact more in passing than obsessing over each other – and I get in a hike.
My only wish is that it were bigger. But it’s awesome.
It’s big enough I got to do some “sit-stay” training with my puppy.
Beautiful park. I liked how the whole park is a network of trails with a dog park enclosed inside those trails. Pretty fun experience. We came on a beautiful day and it was a nice time. The people we met were friendly and helpful.
This dog park is HUGE and fully fenced! Large open area for dogs to play about halfway in. Individual trails everywhere that can give you seclusion if your dog needs some alone time. Walking the outside loop took about 30 min. Good exercise for dogs and owners alike. Trails can be a bit muddy, wear boots!
We love bringing our dog here, and highly recommend it. We really appreciate the large acreage, natural wooded trails, open play area, and completely fenced in perimeter. It’s a great place for off leash training!
My favorite place now. We visit almost every day. Lovely walk with your dog and doit him happy, as the area gives a lot of opportunities to spend time in Nature and with your best friend! Also, Oscar has already met other dogs to play with.
