Official park details and updates ↗Which Minneapolis dog park fits your day?
For a bigger fenced space, compare Victory Prairie (2.62 acres) and St. Anthony Parkway (2.17 acres). For quick downtown stops, Loring Park and Gateway are smaller. Lake of the Isles has a separate small-dog area. These sizes and amenities are from the Park Board; check current notices for entrances and closures.
