The park main play area of the park is covered in wood chips. This park is completely fenced and has 5 separate entrances, benches, tables, and shade. Please be sure to bring your dog some water, as there is no running water at the park. This park is supported by Responsible Owners of Mannerly Pets (ROMP) of Ramsey County and the recreation department of St. Paul.
My dog & I love this park. It is a great place to play & socialize for doggies & humans alike. Of course sometimes there are some irresponsible dog owners that utilize the park unfortunately. This can happen anywhere though.If we see potential trouble we just move on. Happy trails!
Great park. I have been a regular for a long time. Lately though there are some pits and presa's that are not fixed. We ususally leave when they arrive. Otherwise great.
It was clean and very nice. Pet owners were friendly and considerate and my two Westies had the time of their lives.
I agree, great dog park, bad neighborhood! Lock up your car and pay attention. Also have noticed dogs have been abandoned at this park, Have had to have animal control come out and take dogs. Watch out for this happening and report it right away.
This park could be the best park. I've only went 3 times, but each time someone's car was broke into. Most of the people where very nice, ran into a few owners not managing their dog (sitting at picnic bench while dog was out running around). I like the paths and open areas.
As an everyday user (330 days and 360 plus visits last year), I can't imagine not having this park. The most unusual aspect of this park is the elevation change. You have a lower area and an upper area with many trails for its size. This past summer new steps were installed. These steps will help greatly during the winter and will prevent further erosion. Lots of great dogs and respectful owners. However, in the past year or so, owners have not been diligently cleaning up after their dogs. This past winter was so bad the parks department sent people in to do some cleaning. When you come, please bring water and trash bags to pick up after the furry tail-wagers. Lastly, lock your car and don’t leave any items visible in your car, even a diaper bag.
I can walk here from my home. There are a couple of nice, open areas where the dogs can socialize but also a few small trails so you can hike around, too. I haven't had any problems with other dog. But I'm not a "heavy user" either. I probably go 1-2xs per month.
