If you’re looking for an expansive, pet-friendly spot for your furry friend, the Bloomington Off-leash Dog Park in Bloomington, MN is one of the best. Spanning over 30 acres, the park features large open fields, dog-friendly hiking and woodchip paths, forested areas with walking trails, and plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and socialize off-leash. With both open and shaded areas as well as beautiful local touches like butterfly statues, it’s a favorite for families and dog owners alike.
Amenities at this dog park include seating, picnic tables, seasonal water fountains, and a separate small dog area. There is accessible parking onsite, portable restrooms, and kid-friendly trails, making it convenient and inviting for everyone. Whether you’re in search of pet-friendly trails, dog-friendly hiking, or just a relaxing outdoor escape for you and your pup in the southwest metro, this park is a top choice.
This dog park is amazing! Large area with lots of running space and wooded paths.
This park is excellently well maintained and clean. They have bowels and a water station in the warm months the station also has cement benches to sit on. They also have benches and picnic tables throughout. There is no open standing water and the park is located on a hill and also has trees and shaded areas and a walking path that goes through the park. They also have a small dog area that is separate.
30ish acre dog park with wood chip paths, open fields to run in, and some areas to walk a dirt trail through the trees. Not a ton of shade unless you are in the right side of the park but never been an issue. They also have a water fountain during the summer.
Great for working on recall and allowing for short bursts of socializing if needed since there is plenty of space to move around to. Would suggest bringing your own poop bags unless you want to use a grocery bag someone else in the communal bag spot.
I’d give this dog park 4/5 in comparison to some of the ones in Colorado I used to go to or even compared to Craw Hasan near Rogers but for the area it’s hard to beat.
Love coming here, great open area to run and a nice little wooded area to follow along if preferred. Dogs always seem friendly here, no incidents to report.
There’s a water fountain for the dogs, and portable bathrooms if needed. Plenty of parking.
Cute butterfly statues around the park as well.
such an awesome place to be able to take your dogs off leash!! it’s HUGE and has so many different types of areas within it
– the wide open fields
– the big sections of forested area with little paths winding through the foliage
– a little stream/pond area
and so much more.
when I say HUGE, I mean it took me just under 2 hours to walk 1 lap of the whole park – following right beside the fence the whole time and moving at a comfortable pace – not too leisurely but not too brisk either 😜
and that’s without really going IN to any of the areas I mentioned above.
so yeah, all that to say… this park is massive with tons of things to do and explore. best dog park I’ve ever been to, honestly! 😊
