Off-leash Dog Parks

I have big news in my life. I’m bringing home a new puppy on Mother’s Day weekend. Woohoo! I am so excited. In preparation I am re-organizing my house to do the best I can to puppy proof it, and thinking through how to exercise it properly. My saying is “a tired dog is a good dog”. Fortunately, Lake Oswego has 3 off leash dog parks and one of them is close to my house. It’s going to become a big part of my life.

The dog parks are:

Hazalia Dog Park, 17800 Stafford Rd

West Waluga Dog Park, 15775 Waluga Dr

Pilkington Park, 19043 Pilkington.

The dog parks are open year around 6am to 10pm. There are some basic rules. Dogs are only allowed off leash in designated areas. Clean up after your dog. Dogs need to play well with others and not misbehave.

The Hazalia Dog Park actually has two off-leash areas. One is for more timid dogs and one is for more outgoing dogs. That’s a nice option that I took advantage of when I adopted my mom’s elderly dog (a mini dachshund that would have easily been bowled over by more outgoing dogs).

For more information, click here.

And now I want to show you what all of the excitement is about. This is Raven. She’s currently 7 weeks old. A German Shephard, she will be the fifth German Shephard that I have had the honor of owning. I truly am so excited!

Hello Spring!

Lake Oswego truly is a beautiful place in the springtime.

It felt like winter hung on until exactly the first day of spring and then, bang! Spring burst forth. So many flowering trees, daffodils and tulip.

To me, spring speaks of optimism and rebirth. It is a reward for hard work and persevering. These photos are from my walk yesterday.

I honestly love every season: even the cold and shortened daylight of winter. Yet, spring has something special going for it. I hope that today you are able to enjoy some fresh air and to see the beauty and splendor that is all around us.

A Favorite Path

I’m a walker. I try to walk at least 5 days a week and Lake Oswego has got some great paths for enjoying outdoor walks. This is just one of many.

For this walk I park my car at Hazelia Field at Luscher Farm along Stafford Road. The path is easy to find.

It is mostly asphalt, although there is a stretch of about 500 feet that is gravel.

The terrain is rolling hills, which I like. A little gentle up and a little gentle down makes for better exercise. This is an out-and-back walk. So you can go a little ways or a long ways. The path transitions into a path that is in West Linn, so you can take it for a very longs ways, if you want to.

A side benefit, if you are walking with a furry friend, is that it begins and ends at the off-leash dog park at Hazalia Field. From my experience, a tired dog is a good dog. Enjoy.

Market Activity Feb 19-25, 2024

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 14 new listings. Of those, 6 sold very quickly and appear in this report as pending sales. Offers were accepted on 18 properties that are now in pending status, and there were 6 completed sales.

What struct me in compiling this report is how fast houses are selling. Of the houses that went pending, 9 sold in less than a week. This is a great time to put your house on the market!
