About the Park
The Crescent Park Dog Run is a fenced off-leash area in the downriver 'Kickabout' section of Crescent Park, a 1.4-mile linear park along the Mississippi River. It offers open recreation space amid a natural river batture ecosystem, with nearby benches, picnic tables, bike paths, and scenic river views. Access is available via multiple entrances including stairs or elevator.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Crescent Park Dog Run 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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Crescent Park Dog Run is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
