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

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

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.

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!

LongTail Adventures (fearful & reactive dog friendly!)

Fully Fenced
1 acre

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a ring camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's also a ring camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate.

Make sure the diverter that faces the backyard is open. When you leave, please shut it off again, it tends to drip otherwise. Thanks!

Private dog park

Maplewood Private Farm Dog Park (5-acres)

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Nessel & Luna’s Private Farm Dog Park -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near the Battle Creek area, just minutes from I-94 and McKnight. What makes this area special is the landscape itself -- the rolling hills, small valleys, mature trees, and natural contours that make homes here feel like private nature oases tucked into the suburbs. This spot gives dogs a private place to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from busy streets, crowded public parks, and constant dog traffic. The main fenced play area is approx 60 ft x 100 ft, with room for fetch, wandering, and off-leash play. Beyond the fenced area, the property opens into a natural, wooded setting with grass fields, trails, logs, branches, wildlife scents, and plenty of space for dogs who love to explore. The full property is not fenced, so long leashes are ideal outside the main play area. They allow dogs to roam and sniff while still staying within safe recall distance. You know your dog best, so please use your judgment and keep them safe and under control. I’m also a builder and woodworker, and I’m constantly working to improve the play area and increase the amenities over time so the space becomes more fun, useful, and enriching for dogs. Check back for future upgrades, including agility-style platforms, climbing features, a heavy-duty spring pole for dogs who love tug and high-energy play, and a dedicated water play area for dogs during warmer months. This is a great fit for dogs who need privacy, dogs who do not do well at public dog parks, dogs building confidence, working breeds with energy to burn, or owners who simply want a quiet, spacious place where their dog can be a dog. I just opened this Sniffspot recently, so I welcome guest feedback on how to keep improving the space and making it safer, easier, and more enjoyable for dogs and their people. Resident dogs will be kept separate during visits. Please supervise your dog, clean up before leaving, and close all gates behind you.

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.

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

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

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.

LongTail Adventures (fearful & reactive dog friendly!)

Fully Fenced
1 acre

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a ring camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's also a ring camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate.

Maplewood Private Farm Dog Park (5-acres)

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Nessel & Luna’s Private Farm Dog Park -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near the Battle Creek area, just minutes from I-94 and McKnight. What makes this area special is the landscape itself -- the rolling hills, small valleys, mature trees, and natural contours that make homes here feel like private nature oases tucked into the suburbs. This spot gives dogs a private place to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from busy streets, crowded public parks, and constant dog traffic. The main fenced play area is approx 60 ft x 100 ft, with room for fetch, wandering, and off-leash play. Beyond the fenced area, the property opens into a natural, wooded setting with grass fields, trails, logs, branches, wildlife scents, and plenty of space for dogs who love to explore. The full property is not fenced, so long leashes are ideal outside the main play area. They allow dogs to roam and sniff while still staying within safe recall distance. You know your dog best, so please use your judgment and keep them safe and under control. I’m also a builder and woodworker, and I’m constantly working to improve the play area and increase the amenities over time so the space becomes more fun, useful, and enriching for dogs. Check back for future upgrades, including agility-style platforms, climbing features, a heavy-duty spring pole for dogs who love tug and high-energy play, and a dedicated water play area for dogs during warmer months. This is a great fit for dogs who need privacy, dogs who do not do well at public dog parks, dogs building confidence, working breeds with energy to burn, or owners who simply want a quiet, spacious place where their dog can be a dog. I just opened this Sniffspot recently, so I welcome guest feedback on how to keep improving the space and making it safer, easier, and more enjoyable for dogs and their people. Resident dogs will be kept separate during visits. Please supervise your dog, clean up before leaving, and close all gates behind you.

Dog Hiking Trails

Unfenced
63 acres

Come hike 63+ acres of land with trails throughout at our future homestead! The first 20 acres is grassland with multiple mowed trails. The back 43+ is wooded with one main trail circling through it and two entrance/exits. The brown “Trail Entrance” signs mark the woods. There is wetland off trail throughout the property, but mostly in the woods with a large one in the center of the trail. Water levels will vary. The trails are used for ATV’ing but make for a great hike! Plan for a picnic…we have a platform with a picnic table and garbage can available. A beautiful & peaceful spot! Note: The large pond outside the trail at the back of the property in the woods is not ours but marks the back end of our property shown on the aerial view photo. A sign will be posted in the near future to mark it. The woods trail runs along the border of it. It’s a steep drop to the pond. There’s a house on the other side of it. This is an area you’ll hear people & other noises if they’re outside. If you see orange hunter tape in the woods and t-posts randomly in the grassland, don’t worry, those are ours to mark the trails so we don’t lose them in the Fall & Spring. *No well or city water access at this time* It’s vacant land we use recreationally right now. :)

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. Fully fenced fun 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 482 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 482 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 482 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.
