Van Valkenburg Park

Great dog park. Our favorite so far. Large section has good visibility and dogs can’t get lost in the woods. (That has happened at other parks!) Nice and respectful dog parents too! Deducted one star for a tumble in the small dog park because of an aggressive hole. (Which was filled in next time we were there.)

Best dog park around hands down. I have had dogs my whole life. There is a track to walk around here (some portions are dirt - fyi). Huge space, always some dogs to play and bigger than that, it is one of the friendliest places around. Most people will say hello, chat if you want. 2 separate spaces, big dogs & little dogs - annual licenses required for your dog, though I have not ever seen anyone check or ask.

Their new pass is nonsense, every vet has an app now that shows if vaccines are up to date. I shouldn't have to pay extra to let my dog play in a dirt pit.

Shaped like a donut with a bowl in the middle. This is like a little race track and some field area that dips down to the center. Our dogs are very happy when they go here.

The city of Adina does a really good job maintaining the dog park. There is a nice ring to walk around, and the dogs can play down below. It’s large enough to let the dog run, gets small enough that you never really lose your dog. The crews that show up are usually experienced dog owners that don’t freak out about every little thing.
