About the Park
With full fencing, Buster Dog Park gives Brainerd dog owners in central Minnesota's lakes region a secure spot for off-leash play. The enclosure suits dogs still learning recall and owners who want a contained area. It is free to use as public parkland. Brainerd sees warm summers and long, snowy winters, so expect muddy ground in the thaw and frozen footing in the cold months; dress for the season and mind your dog's paws on ice. Posted hours and surface details were not confirmed in our records, so check on-site signage for opening times and any seasonal notes when you visit. Bring water when it is warm and your own waste bags for an easy, enclosed outing close to town.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Buster Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, Buster Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
