Location
Wall Street off Hunziker
Located on Wall Street off Hunziker Street, the park is a cooperative venture between
the City of Tigard, a private land owner and the Tigard Dog Park Committee, a citizen
group.
Potso Dog Park Goes to Winter Hours
Effective Monday, November 2, 2009 Potso Dog Park
will be closed weekdays.
Park hours will be from dawn to dusk on weekends and most holidays.
Also, the water tank at the park will be removed for the winter so park
users are encouraged to bring water for their dog.
PLEASE NOTE: Interested dog owners have inquired about Potso remaining
open year-round. Unfortunately, the current lease doesn't allow the park to remain
open year-round. The Dog Park Committee has contacted the owners, but at this time
they are reluctant to change the current lease.
** There are also two other dog parks in Tigard.
Ash Street (temporarily closed due to
construction on Burnham Street)
and
Summerlake are open dawn to dusk everyday.
Remember it is very important that
all park users pick up after their dogs so that we can keep the parks open,
clean and safe.

A private land owner has agreed to an easement allowing the City to use a
four-acre site on Wall Street off Hunziker for an off-leash dog park.
The Potso Dog Park contains the following features: perimeter fencing, double gated entry area,
signage, shaded picnic tables, benches, interior perimeter path, smaller interior fenced area
for little dogs and puppies, dog drinking areas, parking for 16 cars (two for disabled) and
landscaping.
Parking
- Parking is only allowed in the 16 spaces identified by paw prints.
- Potso Dog Park has been made available courtesy of a private land owner. Parking in spaces without
paw prints could lead to the closure of the park.
Volunteers are needed for the Tigard Dog Park Committee.
The Committee assists the City of Tigard Parks Department to maintain the dog parks
and acts as an informal liaison between the Parks Department and the
dog park users. The Committee organizes community-related events at dog parks in
Tigard (Dog Days of Tigard in July and a Halloween party in October.) If you
are interested in becoming a committee member or assisting with events, or would
just like more information, visit the Dog
Park Committee's website at: www.tigarddogparks.org.

Canines for Clean Water
A recent study commissioned by Clean Water Services linked 16 to 20 percent of
the fecal bacteria in Tigard's creeks and rivers to canine DNA. In nature, this
statistic should measure zero percent to trace amounts. Learn more here....
