Riverside Dog Park in La Grande, Oregon, is a spacious and inviting spot for dogs and their owners to enjoy the outdoors. Featuring expansive grassy areas, mature shade trees, and separate fenced zones for both large and small dogs, this park is ideal for safe and fun dog socialization. Families will appreciate that the park is part of a larger area with a playground, covered picnic facilities, restrooms, and a walking trail, making it perfect for a full day outing.
Pet owners will find practical amenities like accessible waste stations, water bowls (note: water may be unavailable in winter), benches, and picnic tables for relaxing while dogs play. Although the park does not currently offer agility equipment or special play structures for dogs, it provides ample room for running, exercising, and enjoying the scenic, pet-friendly environment of La Grande. Be aware the park can get muddy in spring and that supervision is always encouraged to ensure a safe experience for all dogs.
Love the dog park but the white and tan pitbull that comes in a red vest has attacked my dog twice. Once leaving a wound bad enough to need five stitches. The dog has no means of corrections, Just snaps at a dog when the dog backs away, it continues to go after the dog. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But mine’s not the only one that’s had that experience. It’s really sad that people bring reactive dogs here.

Very nice dog park. Big, lots of grass, shade trees, separate areas for big and little dogs. Has picnic table and bench. Poop bag station and water for dogs. Only problem: hardly any dogs! Too bad for socializing, but still great for dogs to run around and exercise!
