Facilities

Wiggly Field is Monroe’s very own dog park located at the South end of Skykomish River Park, that was created and built by volunteers in partnership with the City of Monroe in 2009. The dog park is approximately 2.5 acres with dog agility equipment, shade trees and a small covered shelter for dogs and people to cool off. The park is fenced along the north side by an 8-foot high chain link fence with the remaining sides fenced with a 4-foot split rail fence with wire mesh added during the summer months to deter small dogs from wandering out of bounds. The lower fence and style was specifically designed to withstand annual flooding of the Skykomish River during winter months (roughly October through April). The design keeps costs down and minimizes fence damage due to flooding events.

Good Petiquette

• Always carry a leash (if you need it, you have it).
• Please help keep the area clean by picking up any visible dog feces. Even responsible pet owners get distracted.
• Off-leash areas are shared for a variety of activities so please be respectful of other users (eg. large breed & small breed groupings). Keep your dog controlled and from interfering with other people and their dogs (especially the leashed ones).
• Remember, you are fully responsible for your dog and his actions
