Higgins Dog Park - Fergus Falls

Higgins Dog Park - Fergus Falls Higgins Dog Park is a public park where people and their dogs can play together. General Rules & Guidelines:
1. Owners are to supervise their dogs. No littering.

This park offers dogs an off-leash play area where their owners can enjoy a park-like setting and the chance to socialize with other canines and their owners. Children 15 and under must be actively supervised by an adult. Children should be calm and interact with only those dogs the owner has given permission for.
2. Users of the park do so at their own risk. Park users and dog owners assume all r

isks related to the use of the dog park. Owners of a dog are responsible for the acts and conduct of their dog at all times. The city is not responsible for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the off-leash area.

Let there be L I G H T!
The dog park officially has light! They will turn on automatically at dusk and will shut off at dawn. Friendly reminder, the park closes at 10:30PM. Please do not go there after park hours.
Our next goal is to get a shaded structure/picnic shelter in the large area. We are working with local organizations to try and raise the funds. We will update when we know more 😊🐕‍🦺

Community Dog Park

Do you love the idea of a city park for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled environment? The purpose of a dog park is to provide a safe place for canine citizens to play and socialize among their peers. The City of Fergus Falls has received numerous requests for a city-owned dog park, but we need the residents of Fergus Falls to help. With the help of residents’ input and resident-led fundraising, a Fergus Falls Area Dog Park can be made possible.

How can you help? The City of Fergus Falls asks you to take the Community Dog Park Questionnaire. The questionnaire is estimated to take 2 minutes. This will help the city determine the popularity, size, and location of a dog park.

The goal of this page is to keep residents of Fergus Falls up to date with the plans and ambitions of the dog park and its fundraising activities. Please like and share. Stay tuned for more information!
