Meeker Island Dog Park
About the Park
A small riverside area with off-leash access along the Mississippi River, featuring a sand beach and water access for dogs who enjoy swimming. The park is typically quiet and peaceful but involves a somewhat difficult hike down steep stairs to reach. Visitors note the setting is scenic but often small, occasionally poorly maintained, and can have unpleasant odors and litter; the entrance is also difficult to locate without prior knowledge.

7 reviewsThis isn’t really a dog park. A nice overgrown wooded trail, but not a dog park.

12 reviewsThere's an ambiguous trail down to the river and spot for your pup to get into the water, but I wouldn't call this area a dog park.
