Where is the Genesee off-leash park? And is Rainier Valley "lovely"?

The Genesee off-leash area is located at the intersection of South Genesee Street and 46th Avenue South in Seattle's lovely Rainier Valley. Make that gentrifying Rainier Valley.

The 3.2-acre, fully fenced facility has ample room for fetching Frisbees and tennis balls, canine wrestling, refereeing, running amok, and leisurely strolls along the parameters of the park.

Most dog owners are responsible individuals who keep their eyes on their canines to ensure that "play nicely" with their canine mates. Those less-careful individuals will find rebuffed by their contemporaries. A couple years ago, several people attempted to confront a man whose pit bull reportedly attacked a much smaller dog. The smaller dog reportedly suffered a broken leg that required surgery. Rather than address his responsibilities, the loser slunk off to a nearby greenbelt like a coward. If the coward had been apprehended, he wouldn't made it home until paid for the injured dog's wounds.

Come visit if you're in Southeast Seattle. And you're a responsible dog owner/parent.
And is the Rainier Valley "lovely"? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
