About Sherman Park Dog Park

Sherman Park Dog Park in Yakima offers a spacious area for your furry friends to roam and play off-leash. While the park features a decent amount of shade from the trees, be prepared for some uneven terrain—on one side you’ll find grass, while the other can be rather dry and dusty. A water fountain helps keep pups hydrated during playtime, although some visitors noted the absence of a water dish, which could be a downside for those looking for easy access to drinking water.

The large, open space is perfect for games of fetch, but it’s best to avoid the park after dusk. Reviewers caution about shady activities occurring later in the evening, so sticking to daylight hours is advisable for a more enjoyable experience. Parking is available nearby, making it a convenient stop for those traveling along I-82.

While there are some concerns about litter and the occasional presence of homeless individuals, many local dog owners appreciate the park’s natural setting and the ability to let their dogs socialize and burn off energy. If you visit during the day, you’ll likely find a welcoming community of pet owners enjoying the outdoors together.
