About
On the west side of Beacon Hill, Dr. Jose Rizal Park has an amazing view of south Downtown and Elliott Bay. The park has a dog off-leash area at its north end, and picnic tables, restrooms, and a small play area for children to the south. The park is home to a bronze bust of Dr. Jose Rizal, national hero of the Philippines, sculpted by the late Filipino master sculptor, Anastacio Caedo and East is West, a triptych mosaic mural designed by Filipino artist Val Laigo, commissioned by the Filipino American Community.

Dr. Jose Rizal Park Off-Leash Area
This off-leash area is located just south of downtown on the north end of Beacon Hill. It is currently 4 acres and offers spectacular views of Puget Sound looking west and to the Seattle Downtown skyline looking north. The park was renovated after the Department of Transportation constructed a bicycle path connecting to the Mountains to Sound Greenway. The fenced area is accessed from a long set of stairs at the north end of the Park. It is ADA accessible from the bicycle trail. A trail runs through the middle of the off-leash area which is compacted gravel and follows rolling contours.
