One of my pups is very anxious & doesn't like strangers. He went to Mary fairly well & she was able to get my boy out for a walk. My other pup was Mary's bff by the time their Express Walk was through.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Hopkins

South Hopkins

Outdoorsy people and puppers will love South Hopkins as it is home to Valley Park, a 14.5-acre green space with nature trails and the Nine Mile Creek running through it. Unlike most other parks, Valley Park has a good mix of flat surfaces and hills that you and Fido can traverse if you want to work up a sweat. Otherwise, stick to the flat areas and take a relaxing stroll along the creek. Since there are no pet-friendly eateries nearby, it’s a good idea to pack some food before visiting. Remember to keep your pooch on a leash at all times while inside the park.

Park Ridge

Park Ridge may be a small neighborhood, but you’ll find one of the city’s four largest parks here. Located next to a church, Burnes Park spans seven acres, most of which Fido can roam. Keep in mind that off-leash running is not allowed, as with all other dog-friendly parks in the city, so you’ll have to stay with your pooch as he explores the place. Since Burnes Park has a few athletic fields, you’ll likely see the locals playing basketball, softball, tennis, or pickleball while you’re there. If you need to take a break from walking, there are several benches scattered across the park.

West Hopkins

West Hopkins is a safe and fur-riendly neighborhood that’s just adjacent to Downtown. If you’re coming from the city center and keep walking west along Mainstreet, you’ll reach Big Ten Restaurant & Bar, where you and your pup can have a nice meal at one of the many outdoor tables. After you’ve filled your tummies, you can burn off those calories at Central Park, which is just less than half a mile away. This 18-acre park has a playground, an open field, and picnic shelters, among other amenities. Fido is allowed to explore the open spaces and walk along the trails, as long as he remains on a leash.

Downtown Hopkins

The heart of Hopkins, Downtown is where you’ll find almost everything, from retail stores to entertainment, all within a quarter-mile radius. There’s plenty to see and do at the city center, and your best friend won’t be left out. Mainstreet and its adjacent streets are lined with a number of local businesses, including dog-friendly restaurants with outdoor seating such as Erbert & Gerbert’s, Hopkins Elks Lodge, and LTD Brewing. For a really puptastic dining experience that Fido won’t forget, go to Pub 819, which has a menu especially for canines. Four-legged customers also get a free homemade treat and complimentary water.

Excelsior/ Blake

Adventure awaits you and Fido in the Excelsior/ Blake neighborhood! From here, you can access the 4.5-mile Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail where you can walk along the old railroad lines of the Great Northern Railway and the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway. The 4.3-mile North Cedar Lake Regional Trail runs from this neighborhood through the peaceful neighborhood of St. Louis Park. Either way, both paved trails welcome leashed dogs, and will take you and Fido up to Minneapolis. Before you set off, grab a bite at The Depot, a former train depot that now doubles as a coffee house and trailhead.
