Meeker Island Dog Park

This is a nice quiet park to give your dog a chance to swim. I played fetch with my old golden retriever until I had to stop for her safety not mine. She would have played fetch forever.

I haven't been to this park in years, but it's fun! It's an off leash dog park, so Roxy can run around and explore (within reason) to heart's content. She loves the water (river) and the trails. A few notes for explorers: - there's a 2-3' drop off right as you enter over the metal bridge to the sand beach - there are sharp and/or protruding corners and edges throughout the area, it's mostly safe but watch out - there could be unknown water hazards in the building ruins, watch out - there's a weird smelling area, probably water runoff - there can be big dogs and little dogs, always be nice - there can be unhomed folks living throughout the area, always be nice and be alert

Very shabby dog park. There’s really no reason for this "dog park" to exist, especially with Minnehaha dog park being so close. It’s just a tiny patch of sand. No fencing, tables, trash cans, toys or views. You’re better off just walking the trails in the opposite direction of the park itself.

Peaceful dog park on the Mississippi that's great if your dog likes to swim. I have only been after 7 pm and there has only been one or no other dogs. Perfect for playing fetch with sticks in the river, bad if you are looking for play time with other dogs. The downside is that there is some smell at this park and it is possible for a dog to run away along the beach if they don't like you or want to explore.

Great dog park with a nice little beach next to the river. Be aware there is no gate or fence around this park. The dogs are mostly contained by the steep slope on one side and the river on the other, but if you have a pup who likes to run be careful.

It's alright. Not much to walk, just a little shoreline. There are trails along the banks, but they were too rugged for me. If you just want a quick walk down and back, it'll do. Definitely not enough to run a big dog. If you go all the way down one end, you'll be accosted by the stink of a grey water run off outlet. 😦

Great little gem of the city! Definitely a spot that needs a little love. There were two garbage bags so we picked up some trash while there. I'll bring my own bag next time for trash pick up, gotta keep our water clean as water is life!
