Dog Parks in Minneapolis, Dog Parks in St. Paul
Friday July 10, 2009
Just about every city in the Metro Area requires dogs to be leashed when not fenced into a yard. So where can you take your dog to run off leash in the Twin Cities?
There are almost 30 official dog parks in the Twin Cities metro area for Fido to run free in a fenced area.
Minneapolis has five dog parks in the city. Dog owners have to pay an annual fee for their dogs to use the dog park, $35 for the first dog and $25 for each additional dog, higher fees apply to non-Minneapolis residents. Dogs also have to be licenced.
St. Paul has one dog park, the Arlington/Arkwright park. The parks is free to use but dogs must be licensed.
Here's a map of other dog parks in the Twin Cities metro area.
St. Paul has at least one other park, Battle Creek. There is also an unofficial dog park on the back property of the airport. I believe you get off of 62 at 28th and go south. You will see the dogs and the cars parked.
