To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas. For a list of locations where dogs are allowed on leash, review the pets policy page.

Metro is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Oregon’s disability laws. Service animals are welcome at all Metro properties per Oregon Revised Statute, Chapter 659A.143 and federal law. The term “service animal” does not include pets, emotional support or therapy animals.
