If you live in Seattle proper, Magnuson Park near Sandpoint/U-District is great! They have an area for the small and shy, as well as a huge area for the big and brave. The larger area includes acess to the water for swimming, which is great for those that like to swim and fetch sticks, balls and the like. If it is absolutely disgusting out, Go Great Dog on Roosevelt offers fun runs every Saturday. 30lbs and over is from 11:45-1:15, while the smaller breeds are from 1:30-3. The charge is $3 per dog, but it is worth its weight in gold when its more than a little nasty outside...

This is a great park for walking, running, birdwatching, playing with your dog, or whatever else it is that you do on weekends. There are wonderful views, and a really cool sculpture/structure thingy made of airplane wings or boat rudders or something…. (Maybe someone on here with a little more engineering knowledge can clue me in on their true nature?)

Formerly the site of a naval base (complete with small airport!), Magnuson park is huge - 350 acres - and hosts many athletic fields, picnic areas, trails and playgrounds. It also has a boat launch, swimming areas, a large off-leash dog area, large hangars used for sports as well as various community sales or activities and hosts a low-income housing project, to boot! It fronts on Sand Point Way, one of the worlds shortest highways (trivia factoid) and is a wonderful community resource.
