I frequent this dog park, despite its distance from my home in St. Paul. My Riley (female pittie) loves it each and every time! There is ample parking. Easy to follow signage. Safe and secure fencing. Designated small dog areas. Community-driven hydration station. It features a sizeable, no-frills off-leash area with easy to follow trails (for humans) and very good sightlines. Seldom muddy (sandy terrain). If your pooch does get too messy, Fetch Grooming Studio sponsors the park and is less than 2 minutes away by car to meet all your dog grooming needs.

My favorite off leash dog park in the north metro area. Dogs and their humans have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors in a safe 13 acre fully fenced area. There is a half mile sandy dirt track to walk. There are also multiple off shoot trails for more exploration. A newly added separately fenced small dog area is available, too. It is about 1/2 an acre in size. Although all well-behaved dogs are welcome in the larger park area.

Nice dog park. Lots of parking and good size area with trails around the perimeter and through the center. Mostly grass and some sand in barer areas. There’s a bulletin board and small dog park near the main entrance. Lots of stations with benches, water bowls, and clean bags. Trash cans only at the entrance.

This place is so amazing for the pups! There are multiple spots to stop and take a rest, plenty of shade and lots to smell! They have recently added new paths that are more tree coverage towards the border of the fence and it's wonderful! There are also waterfountains by the parking lot and a port-o-potty too. Yeah I know those are gross but they are almost always kept decent. I think there was only 1 time in 10 years that they had a mess (that I've used at least)

Great place for friendly trained dogs to roam around, and play fetch. Clean and well kept. Water stations throughout the park to keep hydrated and plenty of trails to roam! There is a small dog area for those who don’t want to be with the bigger pups, all around one of my favorites to go to!
