Absolutely the best dog park in twin cities, imo! Beautiful trails along the river! This was my Pug, The One and Only, 🌈 Bear Hamilton's, favorite place in the world (besides food of course!).. My badass Pug 🌈 Acey, hated the water but loved chilling up on the beach ⛱️ 😎. Beautiful memories here with Pugs, friends and family ❤️..

Huge, open, rugged (or not)... There's just so many opportunities for fun encounters and unique frolicking (for the pups too! 😁)! And it's such a great nature escape tucked into the urban corridor.

A beautiful and spacious dog park with water access and great for people who love to hike with their dogs. Word of caution, this is not the best dog park for dogs with poor recall. There's definitely deferred maintenance here. For example the staircase is falling apart and the railing is held together by zip ties. The park is not fully fenced in and relies on the rugged landscape to keep dogs in. This winter, I've emailed the parks department multiple times about a hole in the fence near the parking lot and it hasn't been fixed. That said, if your dog is adventurous, loves water, and has good recall, this is an amazing dog park to check out.

Am amazing dog park with so many options. My dog loves to get chest deep in the river and run at the water's edge and then romp amongst the trees. It's great to have so much space for our dogs to run and explore off-leash! I'm glad we worked on recall before going.

Visiting the city from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Amazing dog park! Tons of space, wooded trails, and a beach where pups can swim in the Mississippi. Clean, well-kept, and perfect for dogs who love to run and swim.
