History

The Portland International Raceway Off Leash Dog Area, now part of East Delta Park, began as a unique recreational space in the 1950s.

Initially conceived as a designated off-leash area within the larger East Delta Park complex, it quickly became a favored spot for dog owners in Portland, Oregon.

The park's expansive layout – incorporating seven softball fields, nine soccer fields, multiple beach volleyball courts, and a concessions building – provided ample room for dogs to run and play.

Throughout its history, the area has been a popular, though sometimes controversial, gathering place for the city's canine community.

Significant events, including a 2021 Proud Boys rally and subsequent counter-protests, have highlighted the park's role as a site for public gatherings and underscored the need for enhanced security measures.

The park’s continued operation is a testament to its enduring appeal and the city’s commitment to providing a space for dog owners and their pets to enjoy outdoor recreation, while addressing past security concerns through ongoing operational adjustments.
