15Advertised fence height is a blatant lie. The whole back side is mayyyyyyybe 2.5". Extremely disappointed.
55We love going to Alison‘s forest in the city!! our dog gets lots of good sniffs and loves to jump over all of the logs and watch the squirrels. It’s easy for humans to walk around on the paths as well thank you again!
55Amazing space that our dogs loved! There's so much to explore and a great pathway for them to run around :)
55Great woodsy space with lots of trees and brush for pups to explore. Nice deck and trail around the yard. Toys are lost easily so bring something large and bright! Easy parking and instructions. Water and bowl provided plus bucket for potty bags. Great experience!
55Very nice wooded yard with trails.
55beautiful spot, fully fenced. host provided water and dish for the dogs. lots of good sniffs for our pups!
55This was such a great place for my friends and I to meet with our dogs! They had such a great time running around in this amazing yard!
55Fun, wooded trail!
55Safe,secure,unique wooded city lot. Our big Belgian enjoyed it.
55our dogs had a great time exploring this wooded sniffspot! my small dog could slip under the gap under the gate but other than that it was great

Location

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Description

All woods, no lawn. For dogs who like to explore and sniff among the trees. Walk the trail or watch from the elevated deck. Great place for a fenced-in romp through pesticide-free nature. Visibility is limited by seasonal foliage, and the back 30 feet of the yard is a bit of a bramble, but most of the woods has a low groundcover. Possible fauna sightings include squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, deer, songbirds, and native mosquitos. Water dish available plus a pitcher of water with advanced notice. Last-minute bookings should plan to bring water just in case, as we've turned off the hose for the season. Off-street parking in the driveway turnaround. The path around the house to access the yard is uneven and requires climbing several steps. It may be difficult for those with mobility issues and we recommend wearing shoes/boots.

GRAND OPENING Saturday April 13th $5.00 per hr (1/2 hr minimum charge) 50% off first visit Curbside or off street parking A nice shady 0.25 acre corner lot. Entry gate off the driveway A completely wood and cyclone fenced area. Off leash, privacy, play time for you, you/family, and of course, your beloved dog(s) Squirrels and rabbits pass through the dog park. My miniature little brown poodle, Morty Wonka, once captured a fast hare rabbit in the side yard park that was bigger than himself., because of this Elvis Presley became his friend, and Morty was no longer a “Hound Dog” For warm or hot sunny days, the Red Maple Tree in the play area will provide you with instant shade, and it is the perfect spot to place a chair(s) where you can throw optional numerous rubber ball toys to your dog(s) to play fetch & retrieve. Perhaps your dog(s) would like to take a run thru the 15 ft nylon agility tube, the adjustable garden hose nozzle will provide you the option to relieve yourself(s) and dog(s) with a cold refreshing mist, including sanitized stainless steel water dish(es) at your disposal, For clean up, towels, hand sanitizer & plastic small poop bags are at your disposal with a trash can to get rid of anything undesirable. It would make me very happy to know your dog(s) are enjoying the converted side yard private dog park, as my beloved dogs did, especially my white standard poodle Buddy, who the dog park is named after. He loved to crouch down by the pine trees and the very tall 20-30 ft high arborvitaes that line the west wood fence, as he waited for me to throw a rubber ball to him, that he would eagerly return to me. A canine, human experience, that will make you and your dog(s) want to return for more. Questions?
