I found a dog park in Coon Rapids, it is fenced, and gated from what I can tell. Is anyone interested? If so, I can go check it out. It is FREE , from dusk til dawn, and is off the beaten path by the looks of it. Looks like a fairly large area too. Here is their website - with a couple of pictures:

It would certainly be nice to get together...
I went and checked it out today - it is pretty big - and totally fenced and double gated. There are some picnic tables there and some benches. Once the ice melts tho it may be messy for a bit, but maybe not.
It would be a fun day i think...
