About Dog Parks in Moorhead
Moorhead, MN has a small but solid dog park scene with 2 dedicated off-leash parks to choose from. Both are free, grass-surfaced, and offer separate areas for small and large dogs — so regardless of what size pup you’re bringing out, you’re covered. The parks lean toward the larger, more open style rather than compact neighborhood runs, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch out.
River Oaks Dog Park is the more scenic of the two, situated along the river where reviewers mention being able to walk the riverbank as part of the visit — one even spotted coyotes across the water. It has both small and large dog areas and is described as a newer conversion from what used to be a general green space. One heads-up from locals: the teardrop driveway layout can make parking a bit awkward, though manageable. Centennial Dog Park, located in north Moorhead, is the more feature-rich option — reviewers highlight two large fenced spaces with agility obstacles, a small doggie house for shade, and a picnic table. Dedicated parking is available on-site, and the fencing and shade amenities make it a practical pick for longer visits.
A few practical notes if you’re planning a trip: bring water for your dog, as neither park is confirmed to have water stations based on available data. Centennial’s shade structure is a real plus on hot days. River Oaks parking is doable but worth knowing about in advance — pull in slowly and take your time navigating the driveway loop.
