The Locke Dog Park in Fridley, Minnesota, began as a community-driven effort to address the need for a safe, designated space for dogs and their owners.
Recognizing the growing popularity of dog ownership in the Fridley area, residents advocated for a fenced-in dog park to provide a controlled environment for off-leash activity.
Initial discussions and fundraising began in 2017, spurred by the desire to create a positive and well-maintained space.
Early efforts focused on securing a suitable location – a section of the Fridley Lakeshore Park – and obtaining necessary approvals from the city.
Construction began in the summer of 2018, with significant volunteer involvement in landscaping and equipment installation.
The park officially opened to the public in June 2019, quickly becoming a popular destination for dog owners in Fridley and surrounding communities.
The park continues to be supported by the Fridley Parks and Recreation Department and local volunteers, with ongoing maintenance and improvements planned to ensure its long-term success.
