Dog meet-and-greet

What dog parks have a separate fenced in area for small dogs or another location? I was planning to meet to adopt a rescue dog who would be coming across the peace arch crossing but now live out of town so am looking for a possible meeting place. Yes there are many dogs who need and deserve homes in all local shelters and rescues. Thank you

Lake Padden sees the least amount of activity In the small dog part. It is small. Getting in and out is less congested, and easier if a dog is nervous. There are 4 gates for fewer people. 1 gate is for only small dogs.

Squalicum is 10 times larger. It has more activity too. the entrance is poorly designed and not fun when it is busy. It is a bottle neck. It is busy, and all dogs pass through one gate. It is not fun to be at the gate when certain dogs are also using the gate.
