High Bridge Dog Park
Fully fenced city acres on a reclaimed coal-plant site
About this park
A large, fully fenced city park on the site of a former coal plant in St. Paul, with a generously sized big-dog side and a small-dog side that's also genuinely roomy. Open enough for serious running and ball sessions; the early evening crowd is the busiest stretch. Dust kicks up on windy days and shade is limited.
Amenities
High Bridge Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers praise the size of both sides (the small-dog enclosure is unusually generous), the chill regulars, and the ease of letting a fast dog actually open up. The fence holds up reliably.
Early-evening regulars set the tone. Reviewers describe a generally chill, attentive crowd of owners whose dogs know how to read each other.
Best for
Before you go
The dirt parking lot is pitted, so drive in slowly. Visit early or mid-morning to avoid the early-evening crowd, and bring water in summer (shade is sparse).
