Frannie's Urban Oasis

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

*** Discount code for MACC/PUPS fosters & volunteers bringing shelter dogs on field trips. Please PM for details BEFORE booking!*** WINTER: Will limit calendar occasionally due to unsafe ice/snow conditions. Charming urban oasis located within minutes of Downtown Minneapolis. Yard is flat and spacious, perfect for zoomies or laying around in the grass. Relax in comfy chairs on the patio or under the NEW! pergola while your pups play. Fresh water provided, and a waste station is in the SW corner. We don't use lawn chemicals, so your pup is always safe to roll in the clover or nibble on grass. Plenty of street parking (please do not park in the driveway) and a private entrance along the north side of the property. Please make sure gate is securely closed before leaving. Resident dog may bark briefly from indoors at you but will be out of direct sight. If your pup is reactive to sound, please let me know ahead of time & I will do my best to remove mine from the property while you visit. All proceeds from this Spot go to dog rescue. <3 SUMMER: Kiddie pool will be setup in warmer weather (65F and up) unless guest requests otherwise. There is a shallow plastic splashpad for littles/nervous dogs- please add on as an extra (no cost/free) if you want it setup (see photos for details), it requires a special hose hookup so I don't set it out unless asked.

Ultimate Sniffing Experience in Roseville!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Winter Update 2025/2026 - still open for sniffs! We’ve taken down the hammock and the sunshade on the gazebo, and put the pool away… but still open for sniffing fun! Be careful of any ice that may be around - the “grippy stuff” I put down is cat litter for traction… totally dog safe! Nearly 1/3 of an acre in Roseville available for your dog to sniff until their heart’s content! Open mowed grassy area wide enough for zoomies and long enough for fetch, as well as natural/unmanicured shaded areas for “jungle sniffari’s”. Not far off of Highway 36 and 35E, enjoy the perks of room to run while having the privacy of your own space. Plenty of seating for humans underneath a shaded gazebo, with a table and basic amenities for guest use. Please be aware that we do have other dogs in the neighborhood. This includes our direct neighbors to the north, who we share a chain link fence with. If you are visiting on an evening or weekend, there’s a good chance their dog will be outside also!

Ally's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Minneapolis

Our yard is fully fenced with plenty of room to run around and throw a ball. The property spans three lots, so it is a large yard for the city. There is a small gap (~6 inches) between the ground and the fence in a few spots. This isn’t an issue for the majority of pups, but FYI if your dog is small and likes to escape.

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

*** We are closed for spring maintenance to reseed the grass for the summer season. *** A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

My backyard is almost 1 acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located, easy parking. Low visibility of other dogs or people. Tons of room to run and sniff! *Water is off until May. Please bring water.* The water is usually left ready to go, but the spigot on the side of the house is off. To use it, open the valve on the side of the house by the driveway. When you leave, please shut it off again, it tends to drip otherwise. Thanks!

Your Complete Guide to Dog Parks in Minneapolis


Braved the Minneapolis Dog Park at Minnehaha Falls on a Saturday and couldn't find a single spot that wasn't already claimed by twenty other dogs? Or tried the Lake of the Isles off-leash area when it's 10 degrees and the wind off the lake feels like actual knives? Minneapolis dog owners know what's up. The weather swings from arctic hellscape to mosquito-infested summer with maybe three perfect weeks in between, public off-leash dog parks either freeze solid or turn into mud pits, and finding a decent spot that isn't mobbed during Twins games or after a long winter feels impossible.


Minneapolis has public spots everywhere—Minnehaha Falls, Lake of the Isles, Loring Park, Victory Memorial Parkway, St. Anthony Parkway—but let's talk reality. Fenced-in areas that become ice rinks or swamps depending on the season, codes and signs about vaccination requirements, collars and tags, current tag information, and water stations that maybe function six months out of twelve if you're lucky. 


Dog owners from Uptown to Northeast to Linden Hills are over the public park lottery. They're booking private Sniffspot yards where their dog isn't navigating hipster dogs and their fixie bikes. No dog bite drama, no polar vortex exposure, just solid fenced-in land that actually works.


Why Minneapolis Dog Owners Love Private Dog Parks


Public off-leash areas here come with serious caveats. Dog's recall isn't perfect? You need real fencing, not hoping they won't chase something toward Hennepin Avenue. It's February and feels like negative 20? You want wind protection and maybe heated water fountains, not frostbite central. Dog gets overwhelmed around large dogs or loses it in chaotic play areas when the whole city emerges from hibernation in May? Private bookings solve that entirely.


Minneapolis Sniffspot hosts understand Minnesota winters and lake living. Properties with actual wind breaks (because those lake winds are brutal), covered areas for snow and rain, agility equipment for cabin-fevered dogs, water stations that function year-round instead of turning into ice sculptures. Nobody's verifying if other dogs are spayed or neutered. No concerns about communicable diseases in overcrowded summer spaces. Training with food or treats? Way more effective without Surly Beer Hall dogs as background noise.


What Your Minneapolis Dog Actually Needs


Minneapolis dogs deserve better than standard off-leash dog parks. Fully fenced yards that survive Minnesota's freeze-thaw brutality without becoming total disasters. Water stations that work when it's not subzero. Proper waste stations and bag stations for dog defecation cleanup. Walking areas that aren't ice rinks in winter or mosquito breeding grounds in summer. Weather protection for those negative temps and surprise June thunderstorms.


Where to Find Dog Parks in Minneapolis


Over 450 Sniffspots cover the Minneapolis metro. Uptown, Northeast, North Loop, Linden Hills, Longfellow, Powderhorn, Seward, Como, Dinkytown, St. Anthony, Marcy-Holmes. Plus suburbs like St. Louis Park, Edina, Richfield, Bloomington, Hopkins, Golden Valley, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, St. Paul (obviously).


Filter for dog fields for runners, fenced-in areas with serious weather protection, agility setups for winter-bored dogs.


Pro Tips for Minneapolis Dog Park Visits


Check weather obsessively because Minnesota will wreck your plans. Bring water even in winter (heated spaces dehydrate dogs), poop bags for waste stations, layers because wind chill is real. Spring means mud season—bring towels. Book covered spots during winter unless you enjoy suffering. Food or treats for training? Keep them from freezing solid.


The Sniffspot difference: your reservation is totally private. No off-leash dogs while their owners are three beers deep at Indeed Brewing. No navigating Minneapolis dog park social hierarchies. No showing up to Lake of the Isles only to find everything's frozen or flooded. Just reliable space where your dog can run without Minnesota weather chaos. Browse hundreds of options above and book your spot.

55Large yard with lots of shade. My dog loved the space and I loved the peace and quiet. There were toys, treats and water, and the host asked if I wanted a pool for my dog. Fence was secure and there were enough trees and plants that my guardian dog just relaxed and enjoyed the new scents and the pretty day. Definitely want to return!

Not only is the location great, but the size is just perfect and there’s great amenities. My reactive pup was TIRED out and so happy! And Britta was also an amazing host and so easy to communicate with. If I could give 1000000 stars, I would!

Something that she has never been able to do because she is not good with other dogs and we unfortunately do not have a yard for her yet. Our experience at this location was amazing!

Really nice backyard that’s fully fenced in! Directions were clear and easy, nice hill for the dogs to run up and down. Recommend!

55Absolutely gorgeous and spacious yard. Felt very private even with the chain link fence because there’s lots of large trees along the fence line. Lots of shade also which we were thankful for on a hot day. my dog had an amazing visit, thank you Chelsea!!!

55Great yard! There’s a table to sit at with chairs, and the yard was really easy to get into with just a gate that opens and closes. There’s also a faucet on the back of the house that you can use if your dog is thirsty. Very kind and responsive house owner as well

Frequently asked questions about Minneapolis dog parks

What amenities do private dog parks in Minneapolis offer that public parks don't?

Minneapolis private dog parks offer amenities you'll never find at public facilities: swimming pools for water-loving dogs, agility equipment for training, climate-controlled indoor spaces for year-round use, hiking trails on private property, and secure fencing customized for different dog sizes. Hosts provide poop bags, water stations, toys, and even dog wash stations. Rice Creek Sniffspot is especially known for exceptional amenities. Every Minneapolis listing shows exactly what's included—no surprises.

Are there fully fenced private dog parks in Minneapolis?

Yes! Most of Minneapolis's 462 Sniffspot locations are fully fenced. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures with detailed fencing specs: height (4ft, 6ft, 8ft+), material (wood, chain-link, vinyl), and gap information. This is crucial for escape artists, puppies learning boundaries, or reactive dogs who need contained space. Minneapolis listings show fencing photos so you can verify security before booking.

How clean are private dog parks in Minneapolis compared to public ones?

Significantly cleaner. Public dog parks in Minneapolis are maintained by overworked city staff and often littered with waste from dozens of dogs daily. Sniffspot hosts in Minneapolis maintain their own spaces and take pride in cleanliness since it directly affects their reviews and bookings. Many Minneapolis hosts provide fresh poop bags, empty trash regularly, and sanitize water stations. Plus, with only one booking at a time, waste accumulation is minimal. Check reviews to see cleanliness ratings.

What types of dog parks can I find in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis has 462 diverse options: fully fenced dog parks for specific training activities, small dog parks for different environments, and dog fields for varied experiences. Want a backyard for simple off-leash time? We've got it. Need acres of trails for hiking? Check. Looking for water access or agility obstacles? Available. Browse by park type to see what matches your dog's interests, then filter by location within Minneapolis to find convenient options.

Can I book Minneapolis dog parks on short notice?

Usually yes! Many Minneapolis Sniffspot locations offer same-day or next-day availability, and most bookings can be made instantly without waiting for host approval. Unlike public dog parks that might be crowded during peak times, Minneapolis private parks let you reserve exactly when you need them—early morning before work, midday breaks, or evening exercise. Check individual listings for real-time availability and booking policies.

Do Minneapolis dog parks have water access?

Many do! Filter Minneapolis's 462 locations by amenities to find dog parks with swimming pools, natural ponds, creeks, or beach access. Water features are perfect for Minneapolis's hot summer days or for dogs who love to swim. Each listing specifies water type and depth, plus whether it's safe for swimming or just wading. Some Minneapolis hosts provide life vests or shallow kiddie pools for water-nervous dogs.

Are there indoor dog parks in Minneapolis?

Yes! Minneapolis has climate-controlled indoor options perfect for extreme weather, rainy days, or year-round exercise. Indoor Minneapolis locations typically feature rubberized flooring (easier on joints), artificial turf, or padded surfaces. They're especially popular for puppy training, senior dogs needing gentle surfaces, or reactive dogs benefiting from enclosed environments. Filter by "indoor" to see Minneapolis's covered and climate-controlled options.

What's the best time to visit dog parks in Minneapolis?

With Sniffspot, any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks that are crowded during peak hours (early mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't have to worry about timing in Minneapolis. Book whenever fits your schedule—midday when public parks are empty, dawn for cool weather, or late evening for convenience. Many Minneapolis locations have lighting for after-dark visits. The flexibility is one of the biggest advantages over public parks.
