About the Park
Wilson Park Off Leash Pet Exercise Area is a large fenced dog park on three sides with the Mississippi River serving as the fourth boundary, allowing dogs to run off-leash and swim. It features a double-gate entry and is located at the south end of Wilson Regional Park. The area promotes exercise and socialization but requires vigilance due to fence gaps near the river.

backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
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 towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair

Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
