About the Park
Schilling Park gives dog owners in Dundas, a small community just south of Northfield in Rice County, a nearby place to let their dogs run off-leash. Entry is free as part of the public parks system, making it an easy stop for a daily outing. Southern Minnesota's seasons shape each visit, from soft spring ground to hot summer afternoons and frozen winter footing, so dress for the weather and bring water in warmer months. Fencing status and posted hours were not confirmed in our records, so walk the area first and confirm the off-leash boundary before letting your dog loose. This is a straightforward neighborhood green space rather than a large regional facility, best suited to dogs comfortable around others.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Schilling 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, Schilling Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

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.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
