Where to walk and play with your dog.
Tualatin Community Park
Located at 8515 SW Tualatin Road, this park offers open grassy areas, walking paths, and a scenic pond. While there is no dedicated off-leash area, the broad open spaces are perfect for leashed walks and picnics with your pup. Just a short drive from 22379 SW 107th Ave.
Tualatin River Greenway Trail
This 5.3-mile paved trail along the Tualatin River is a favorite among local dog walkers. Leashed dogs are welcome on the entire trail, with access points at Browns Ferry Park, Tualatin Community Park, and Cook Park. The shaded path along the river is especially pleasant on warm late-summer afternoons.
Ibach Park
Just a short walk from 22379 SW 107th Ave, Ibach Park offers paved walking paths through open green spaces, making it ideal for daily dog walks. The park connects to neighborhood sidewalks for longer walking routes through the community.
Dining With Your Dog
Dog-friendly patios in Tualatin.
Several Tualatin restaurants welcome well-behaved dogs on their outdoor patios. Brix Tavern on Tualatin-Sherwood Road offers a spacious patio where dogs are welcome. Bushwhackers Saloon on Tonka Street has outdoor seating that accommodates canine companions. And the Tualatin Farmers Market at Lake of the Commons is dog-friendly too, though keep in mind the crowds on busy Friday evenings.
Always call ahead to confirm patio pet policies, as they can change seasonally. The final Fridays of the farmers market (through September 25) offer a perfect opportunity to enjoy a dinner out on the lawn with your dog by your side.
