Dog walking in Osseo

Osseo

The area around downtown Osseo includes residential streets, a commercial main street, and the high school.  The roads have sidewalks where you and Fido can go for a little jaunt. For a special treat, take your fur baby to Fish Lake Regional Park. There's an off-leash dog park here where your pup can enjoy some social time with others. You'll need to purchase a daily or annual pass and have a current certificate of rabies vaccination to use this 6.7-acre facility. Make sure your dog is not aggressive and remains under your control at all times. Remember to clean up any waste.

Lancaster

The Lancaster neighborhood includes a greenhouse, a park, and streets with single-family homes. Here, you and your pooch can take a daily stroll along the sidewalk. When you crave some green space, head to Charest Park on Union Terrace Lane, just 5 minutes away. This facility has a baseball diamond, open space, and a playground. Play some Frisbee with your special pal or bring a blanket to enjoy a picnic in the park. Dogs are permitted to join you if they're kept on a leash and under your control. Make sure you bring water and some waste bags so that you can pick up after your pup.

Sipe Park

In the Sipe Park area, there are single-family homes, a senior living complex, and some small businesses. For your daily exercise, you and your four-footed friend can stroll down the sidewalk or around the park. About 4 miles southeast of here, take your pooch to Brookdale Park and Dog Park for some off-leash play. This facility is located off June Avenue in Brooklyn Park, and it includes a natural area where Fido can run free with other pooches. Dogs need to be up-to-date on vaccinations and have a Brooklyn Park license to use this area. You're responsible for cleaning up your pup's waste.

North Oaks

North Oaks, in the northeast corner of Osseo, includes some apartment complexes and an education center. The streets are lined with sidewalks where you and Spot can go for a walk together. To treat your fur baby to an outdoor adventure, take him about 4.5 miles northwest to Elm Creek Park Reserve off Zachary Lane in Maple Grove. There's an off-leash area here where you can let your four-footed friend romp and explore. Follow the trails through the fields and past the water hole. You'll need to purchase a day or annual pass to use this pawtastic facility. Don't forget to bring some waste bags along.

Maple Valley Trails

The neighborhood of Maple Valley Trails -- located just north of Osseo, in Maple Grove -- is a residential community with single-family homes. For daily exercise, you and Fido can walk along the area sidewalks. When you want to go for an extended hike or jog with your furry friend, head to the Maple Valley Trails Greenway and connect to the paved trail. You can follow this path northwest toward Elm Creek Park. Dogs on a leash up to six feet long are permitted to join you on the trail. Make sure you bring water and waste bags with you when you use this pathway.
