About the Park
White Sands Dog Park serves Faribault, a historic city in southern Minnesota's Rice County, and the city maintains a facility page with current details. Dogs use the space off-leash, and it is free to visit as a public park. Southern Minnesota's seasons run from muddy spring ground to warm summers and snowy winters, so dress for the weather and bring water on hot days. It works well as a practical local outing for owners whose dogs stay responsive off the lead. Fencing and posted hours were not confirmed in our records, so check the city's facility page and on-site signage for the boundary and any seasonal rules. Pack your own waste bags for a straightforward off-leash visit close to town.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
White Sands 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.
Best of all, White Sands Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
