55Super cute spot and very private. Brought our reactive pups there and they had a great time. They also gave us treats for our first visit!
May need to park a bit away if you go on a Sunday morning due to the church across the street. Jennie F.

55This was an absolutely fantastic, beautiful yard. Oasis is a great description! Rachel was wonderful to communicate with as well. We loved exploring and brought the cats to spend time in the catio while our dog ran around. All of our fur babies had a blast. We would definitely come again!! Britta S.

55Yard was clean, fenced in, had a ball, sticks, and freshwater. Doggie cleanup bags and a lidded can. Umbrellas and seats for owners and a couple beds for dogs to rest. It was just what we needed while traveling 6 hours. The boys got to stretch and do their business safely. Thank you! Patti T.

55Angela provided a first time welcome treat which was so kind and welcoming to their beautiful yard. This is a great spot with thoughtful amenities and bonus extras to purchase. My dog will jump a 4’ fence with the right motivation so I did keep him interested in the yard away from the far side of the garage- it helps that the driveway breaks up the yard before getting to that fence so it wasn’t hard to keep him away. Definitely recommend for a relaxing visit that is so convenient to the 50th and France area. Shannon A.

FAQ About Minneapolis Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Minneapolis area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 249 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 443 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
