Temporary closure

The Battle Creek dog park will be closed Monday, December 9. During this time, trees that pose a safety risk will be cut or trimmed back. The dog park will reopen again on Friday, December 13.

Off-leash dog areas (dog parks) provide an opportunity for dogs to exercise and socialize free of restraints. Ramsey County offers four dog parks throughout the parks system.

All dog parks have designated small dog areas for dogs under 30 pounds. Service dogs, regardless of size, are allowed in all dog parks at all times.

Improvements to the Battle Creek, Otter Lake and Rice Creek off-leash dog areas are planned in 2023.  Read about improvement projects.
