About

I-5 Colonnade is a dedicated off-leash area located on a steep slope directly under the I-5 freeway, linking the Eastlake and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. The 0.5-acre space features several large tiers connected by walkways and stairs with a crushed gravel surface. It offers protection from rain due to its location under the highway, making it a desirable all-weather option for dog owners.

What people say

Praised as a rare covered option that keeps dogs dry during rain, but frequently criticized for loud freeway noise, safety concerns due to nearby encampments, and a dusty gravel surface.
