About the Park
Inside Staring Lake Park, Eden Prairie sets aside a dedicated off-leash dog exercise area that residents can use for free. Eden Prairie is a southwest Twin Cities suburb, which means real winters: snow, ice, and subzero stretches from roughly December through February, when paw protection and shorter visits make sense. Our listing does not confirm fencing for this exercise area, so dogs without dependable recall should stay on a long line until you have verified the setup in person. Surface and hours are also unrecorded — many Minnesota city parks run dawn to dusk, but confirm locally. The 55347 zip code covers the southern part of the city. Bring water in summer, waste bags every time.
