Walking track
Come to the Sports Dome to walk or jog indoors during the winter months free of charge (excluding open dome times) during scheduled track hours. The turf field is surrounded by protective netting.
4.8 laps around the track are the equivalent of one (1) mile.
We are continually working around Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines that limits the number of people that can be in the facility at one time. Once we are able to open to walkers we will post a calendar here. Please stay tuned to this page for updates.
Rules
- Walkers keep to the inside of the track (next to the netting)
- Joggers keep to the outside of the track
- Baby strollers are allowed
- No sprinting
- No bicycles, tricycles, etc.
- Be aware of your surroundings, as the dome is an active sports facility

Batting cage time rents for $25 per half hour or $40 per hour. Reservation information coming soon.
Open dome times
The Brooklyn Park Sports Dome will have a monthly schedule of open dome times that allow users to gain access to the space for just $3.00 per session. An entry fee is required for all individuals who enter the dome.
