My partner, Michael, and I were walking our dogs on Saturday along the Cedar River Trail in Renton and came upon the new off leash dog area being installed by RUFF – or Renton Unleashed Furry Friends. It’s a huge 5 acre area by the trail and just across the Cedar River from the Renton Community Center. There is a small dog area for little guys that don’t want to be overrun by the big dogs and loads of space to run for the others.
I hope you’ll get out and enjoy this new space with your furry friend and I hope you’ll also help fund the efforts of RUFF! They do have their 501c3 status and will be looking to do more fundraising for long term care of the park and potentially more of these dog parks in the future. They’ve piggy backed on the success of long time COLA (Citizen’s for Off Leash Areas) in Seattle, so we hope that they’ll be able to become a strong organization in favor of our pooches.
