The Dog Park at Dakota Park is a fully fenced, off-leash area over 1 acre in size, featuring separate sections for small and large dogs. It includes amenities like a water fountain, double-gated entrance, open field, and dog-friendly trails. The park is part of a larger recreational area with baseball fields, picnic shelters, and paved trails.
Dog Park at Dakota Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Dog Park at Dakota Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Residents need a current St. Louis Park dog license; non-residents require an off-leash permit. Keep dog leashed until entering the enclosure, pick up waste, limit 3 dogs per person, control barking, bring water (no glass), dog must wear permit/license. Leash law applies outside dog parks.
