    Fully fenced

    Despite what past reviews say, this park is now fully fenced so dogs can roam off-leash without going into the creek. It is pretty big with a wooded area, some obstacles for the dogs and at least one table/bench for people. The ground is bark with some exposed dirt so be prepared for dirty dogs. It’s still fun for dogs who want to play and was very busy.

    There Is A River

    This park seems small but there are two trails out the back that go to the river. The river walk is 75% fenced in, if you stay on the trails that go to the river, you never get close to the unfenced portion. If you have a runner, maybe keep your Pooch on a leash your first time back, but mostly it’s magical!

    Small, clean park

    Stopped here on a roadtrip through MN to run our dog a bit. Overall nice Park. Only complaint is there were some non-attentive owners there. one of their dogs kept stealing my dogs frisbee and being aggressive when we'd try to take it back. We eventually moved over to the separate small dog area which was empty to play in peace.

    Great park

    Our three dogs enjoyed our short stop before sunset. Clean park and was fenced in with wood area and gate opens to a walking path. Friendly people and dogs. There were about 10 dogs counting ours when we pulled in and everyone got along 😁

    NW dog park

    I take our 2 small dogs to the NW park and have had good experiences there. The dogs are mostly well behaved and I haven't seen any problems in the few times we have gone. If one starts to act up usually the owner takes them home. Their is a smaller fenced in park and a larger fenced in area. The only complaint that I have is there could be more benches for the owners or maybe another picnic table or 2. My dogs enjoy this park.

    p.s. Actually I was surprised to find only two of
    us submitted a dog park review. I always find others at the park. And there is another larger dog park on the north west side off highway 22 and 1 third still being built. They are popular!
    The one not listed on 22 on the north side had
    I would guess 40 to 50 dogs on a sunny winter Sunday.

    I take my pet to the park daily in the winter and frequently other times. It is 3 miles from my house. I use the fenced areas, but the none fenced areas are available

    Good Park but no fence

    I love everything about this dog park except for it not being completely fenced in. I have a dog that wanders and has gotten out a few times. It has a really nice concrete agility set-up, good walking trails so it feels like you're going on a hike, and a water source for dogs that like to swim.
