Totally loved this dog park! It has a special fenced area for small dogs and a different area for bigger dogs. They have extra bags in case you forget yours and they have bowls of water for the dogs there as well. Clean and very lovely place for all types of dogs.

We were here for the first time today and it was so lovely! There is a small dog section with picnic tables and a gazebo for shade. The size of this area is decent. The rest of the park is a trail that loops around a pond. A couple trips back and forth for our little one tired him out especially under the hot sun. He caved when he saw another dog jump in the water and decided he had to cool off as well, haha. Luckily, there is a hose just across the dog park entrance by the baseball field. It says it's not intended for drinking but we used it to clean our dog off. I would give the park a full 5 stars if it had more than just one portapotty and if there was a dog drinking fountain somewhere in the park (some places have this and it's very nice!). There is a lot of green space around here and it's just a beautiful way to spend the day outdoors!

Top Ten in the Nation!

Need a place to be bring your 4 legged friend? This place is where you need to go! It even provides you with all the amenities your pet needs! It is also important to note that this park was rated in the top 10 US Dog Park!! #rnrneighborhoodfeature

This is the best dog park we've ever been to. Open and circular with a lake in the middle. Huge!!! Always fun dogs there as well. It was voted in the top 10 of the country and for good reason. Great to see something good coming out of Burnsville. Jk.

Lakeside Trail

Trails can get muddy in early spring and after a rain. Trail signs need to be updated, not all are clearly marked. Since the dog park is also located here, many dog owners do not follow the leash rule on walking trails.

Ask the Community - Alimagnet Dog Park

Is this fenced?

Yep! There is a fenced small dog area that's actually a good size, and the remainder of the park (which goes in a loop around a pond) is also fenced.

This is our favorite dog park in EP. Sometimes I go to the smaller park on Flying Cloud because it…read morehas a separate little-dog area, but I've never had any trouble at Staring with either my mini dachshund or chihuahua. This is a great park for dogs who love to run fast, like our corgi, or dogs who just like to sniff, pee on every blade of grass, and wander along. I love that the park is a fully fenced 4-acre hilly woodland place and even if a dog runs away, they can't get out and will find you eventually. There's no open or standing water, so your pooch won't get wet and stinky for your ride home. Spring and fall are my favorite times here because these woods get buggy in summer; that's when I switch to the park on Flying Cloud. It's smaller, just over an acre, but more open (wear sunscreen!) and there is agility equipment for both the large dog side and the little dog side. It's hilarious to watch my doxie "leap" over the 4" hurdle!

I wish we had a Dog Park like this in my state. It is so forested that you feel like you're in the…read moreopen woods except it is completely fenced in and safe for your dogs with the exception of this one lady Who sits back passively as her dog is being very aggressive... all of the other dog owners are very responsible and Intervine when their dogs get over excited or aggressive or jump on you. Every other dog and owner I encountered there during my 10 day visit was friendly two other dogs and dog owners. People are very good about picking up their poop. Plus it has an out house toilet in case the humans need to use it.

There is also a viewing area where there are bird feeders. A favorite is the turkeys that stop by! The staff here are helful and friendly. They also plan community events that are always fun and educational.

Hooray, I finally came here when the visitor center was open! I've been a couple of times in the…read morepast just to do some hiking on the trails, but I'd never gotten to see the inside as the hours are somewhat narrow being just Wednesday through Sunday. It looked really grandiose from the outside, so I'm unsurprised the inside was quite modern and comfortable. It's comprised of many available seating areas where you can sit and relax (I especially recommend the seating facing the bird feeders, though there's also a cozy fireplace), or simply wander and explore the exhibits they have up with information on them about the history of the refuge, the work its done and is doing, and the animals that inhabit it. This is important work! I'm so glad they're doing it. Unsurprisingly there is a gift shop with expected trinkets such as stickers, pins, patches, plushies, postcards, jewelry, hankerchiefs, and lots of books. So if you'd like to support the refuge and get a little something for yourself, that's a great way to do it. There is additionally an art gallery with revolving local Minnesota artists that take inspiration from nature, an auditorium playing a looped track, and plenty of space for kids to play (including corn hole and giant puzzles). There is a conference room (downstairs) and a community room (upstairs), and considerable office space (not open to the public, obviously). Two water bottle refill stations. Clean bathrooms (separated by gender, but there's also a bonus unisex, accessible one). These folks do LOTS of events throughout the year, most of them completely free to attend (some require RSVP, others don't), so I recommend keeping an eye out for something that interests you. Plenty of free parking is available on site. There are picnic tables around the visitor center, as well as an outlook with binoculars. If you go down along the left side the visitor center, it will take you to the trails if you're here to do some hiking. :)
