About the Park
Elmo's Pup Park takes its playful name from Lake Elmo, an eastern Twin Cities suburb in Washington County. Dogs use the space off-leash, and it is free as part of the public park system. The location makes it a handy local outing for owners whose dogs respond well off the lead. Twin Cities weather runs the full range, from muddy spring thaws to warm summers and snow-packed winter footing, so dress for the day and mind ice underfoot. Fencing and posted hours were not confirmed in our records, so check the boundary and any seasonal closures when you arrive. Bring water in the warmer months and your own waste bags for a straightforward neighborhood visit rather than a large built-out facility.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Elmo's Pup Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Elmo's Pup Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
