Did You Know?

Play Surface Notice
The ground at the Lyndale Farmstead Dog Park is crushed granite. Some dogs’ paws may be sensitive to this surface.
The material was used because this dog park is located within a flood storage area that is part of Minneapolis’ storm water system. Unlike wood chips that are used in other MPRB dog parks, crushed granite will not wash into the storm water system during peak rain storms and potentially damage storm water pumps that are used to pump the access rain water to other piping systems in the City’s system.
Several other surface materials were considered for the dog park, including artificial grass and gravel. However, the granite chip surface was determined to be the best choice based on location, stability during flooding, maintenance, and cost effectiveness.
