About the Park
Meeker Island Dog Park is an off-leash area adjacent to the historic Meeker Island Lock and Dam, featuring a dog run and a sandy beach along the Mississippi River. It lacks a fence and is bordered by the river and steep bluffs. Access is via a trail from Mississippi River Blvd.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Meeker Island Dog 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.
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, Meeker Island Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
