Seattle Parks and Recreation is installing new fencing and upgrading the gated entries at Northacres Park Off-Leash Area (OLA). The OLA is located in the northeast corner of Northacres Park,12718 1st Ave NE. The construction work will close the OLA from February 4 through March 1, 2019. The nearest alternate OLA is located at Magnuson Park, 7400 Sand Point Way NE. For a list of other OLA’s please visit http://www.seattle.gov/parks/find/dog-off-leash-areas.
The Seattle Park District’s Maintaining Parks and Facilities funding initiative provides funding to improve Dog Off-Leash Areas (OLAs) throughout Seattle. This initiative provides $100,000 annually until 2020 and will improve existing off-leash areas through increased maintenance while providing updates to aging infrastructure. In 2016, we completed a capital plan for all OLAs, People, Dogs and Parks Plan. This plan provides a scope and prioritization of projects.
The first four improvement projects were completed over the last two years at Magnuson Park, Genesee Park, Regrade Park and Woodland Park OLAs.
