Dog Parks
We have two dog parks in Brooklyn Park where your four legged friends can run, play, and meet new friends.
Off-leash dog parks
Brooklyn Park has two dog parks; Brookdale Park and the Environmental Park Area. The dog parks are for dogs to exercise alongside their human companions and fellow canines and are open year-round during regular park hours.
Leashes are required in all other parks and trails.
Tips for the off-leash dog parks
To ensure a fun environment for you and your dog, please follow these off-leash dog park tips:
- Make sure your dog has all vaccinations
- Bring ample water for your dog(s)
- Extend common courtesy to all other dog park users
- Pick up after your dog and bring a spare dog bag to share
- Do not bring food or dog toys into off-leash dog park as these items may create a conflict
- Do not bring glass containers into off-leash dog park
Rules for the off-leash dog parks
- Dogs must have ID tags and proof of current vaccinations
- Dogs must be leashed prior to entering and upon leaving the off-leash area and in transition corridors
- Dogs should be off leash when in the off-leash area, except as a temporary measure to re-direct activity. Do not let your unleashed dog approach leashed dogs; a leashed dog cannot escape a tense or scary situation, making its behavior less predictable
- Dog handlers must have a visible leash at all times
- Dog handlers must be in verbal control of their dogs at all times and prevent aggressive behavior, biting, fighting or excessive barking
- Dog handlers are responsible for providing water for themselves and their dog
- Dog handlers must be at least 18 years of age or accompanied by an adult
- Dog handlers are liable for damage or injury inflicted by their dogs
- Dog handlers must possess a device for cleanup and disposal of feces
- Dogs in heat are not allowed
- Dogs must stay within signed boundaries
- Dog handlers must comply with all other park rules and regulations
- Animals determined by ordinance to be “dangerous dogs” are not permitted off of a leash or within the off-leash area
- A maximum of three dogs per handler is allowed
