Feels like a camping get-a-way even if you are a local to Minnesota due to its large farm style…read morerunning space(s). While I am 30-minutes from this park, I will be returning as my boys love car rides to begin with and had a blast running around in the open field. The parking is spacious and takes you down a dirt hill path with great signage so that you understand you are going to the right location. There is one big gate entry and right now during the winter please be very careful as the hill to walk down is slippery and icy. I enjoyed it here as it wasn't muddy and there were a lot of other dogs allowing for a playful experience. It looks like there are some other walking paths that are not fenced which I didn't attempt but good to be aware of for folks with well behaved dogs who don't run away. Enjoy!

May we continue to pick up after our pets for others to also be mindful, relax and enjoy! The field has hiking trails on every corner too. Great landscape.

Excellent! I stumbled here as our normal dog park was under construction. Located next to a giant…read moresoccer field, I felt totally safe as lots of matches were being played on a Sunday afternoon with families all around. We checked out the large dog park and my understanding is that there is a smaller one next door. Both parks contain agility courses should your dog enjoy that and it's also what makes this park unique. In addition, there is a large common space with a gazebo type shelter for owners to sit and free water for the doggies. Down the hill you will find two paths where one leads to water (don't worry dogs can't get in as there is a fence) and a giant uphill climb and the other is a more flat circular loop. I enjoyed all the wildlife, the greenery and the open space. My doggies enjoyed it too! Parking is excellent!

FOR PUPS Tons of ponds, large and small, for pups of all sizes to comfortably splash around in. So much land for doggos to chase each other at full speed. Balls strewn all over.

This is a very small, annoying dog park next to active train rails. Granted the dog can't get near…read morethem, but they can be loud and annoying. You have to walk in circles here, it is so small. The second gate out to the bigger section leads to annoying, ungroomed wooded area with a bog! Hunters who want to practice may like the protection of knowing the place is fenced, but it not great for the casual dog owner. It's very clean though! I've seen some great cleaning here. It's also sponsered by my favourite dog trainer nearby and several other businesses, so if you need to get a look at the local dog trainers and business that are unlisted, this might be a great thing to drive by. As far as how good it is in weather conditions, the park is located on a kind of steep hill, so if you want to want in circles instead of back and forth, be prepared to go up a hard slope in the winter. The small dog section is very small and not up to par. You have to either have dogs to play with by chance, or something for your dog to do. Water appears to be at the place. It's just a small gated off section right at the entrance. It's about 1/3 the size of the big dog section, which is just pitiful. There's a bench, but no shade unlike the main part section. The main gate is a safety hazard!! One of the clips is so worn, you have to fight to get it open! This leaves opportunity for dogs to run up the gate entrance, which can be intimidating and start fights. The gate entrance is of course doubled gated, but the box between the second gate to enter is very small and can make a dog very defensive because it is cornered between incoming dogs and their owner. There is no other gate entry, sadly. They also say "NO AGGRESSIVE DOGS ALLOWED" everywhere! Which makes me feel like if my dog tries to protect it self when others run up to the front gate and protect me, it will be labeled as aggressive even when it had enough reason to bite or snarl. Fix the front gate, WAG farms!!

There are A LOT of big dogs that visit here and there's no designated area for small dogs. If your dog is aggressive (big or small), also not a good spot to bring your dog. I've had one small dog that ran up to me and tried to bite my ankles. And another small pooch that didn't want to play and tried to bite my dog. Not cool and not the right place for your dog.
