55Great little space to let my dog run! Heads up there is an area of the fence that has a small wall next to it behind the pine trees. If you have a dog that would climb that and jump over just be aware. My dog was fine but it is worth a mention. Thanks :)

55Wonderful spot with both shade and sun. There were chairs to sit in. We met up there with 4 greyhounds and there was plenty of room for them to run. A very uniquely large space right in South Mpls. We will very likely be back!

FAQ About Minneapolis Dog Parks

Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Minneapolis area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 227 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 418 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
