oops

it is NOT totally fenced in so if you have a runner on your hands they could end up running on Hiawatha Ave ... it is NOT huge, that end of Snelling state park and Minnehaha park add a lot of space below Coldwater Springs, but we are authorized only in the few acres by the lower gate, they say the'll be patrolling for violations more now ... the peninsula was an island that belonged to Saint Paul, but it's part of the National Forest Service park; yes it was such a wonderful park for dogs that few others were using much and ya were supposed to stay calm and quiet about that

The desciption above says the size of this dog park is a mere 4.3 acres--boy, is that ever wrong!! This place is huge, I'd guess maybe 75 acres. And much varied terrain, including bluffs, ridges, streams, of course the Big Muddy, woods, trails, etc.
Just the best! Dog heaven,..

It's gigantic, TOTALLY fenced in, and has the Missisippi to play in! Don't think a better park exists.
