Thresher Fields Park — Attraction in Eagan

Great dog park with a nice workout. So here's the thing... this park has some Steep and slippery terrain. This is a minimal maintenance park and as such you are likely to encounter steep slopes, dips in the path, muddy/icey spots, and root tripping hazards. I would not recommend those with balance issues come to this park. But hey, if ya want a workout it is great to do interval hiking up and down the trails. A standard double gated entry from paved parking lot. Seperated area for small/timid dogs. Water dishes and bags. Several benches throughout and a pavilion just inside the gate. The open "field" is a pretty good size. Small rocks cover the majority of this area and into some of the paths. A smattering of medium and small paths criss cross through the forest and the bottom of the hill is a fenced gate that leads to a pond/lake. Quality of the pond is murky and muddy but is still seemingly good enough to swim in. Fellow patrons are always...

When in season, this is a great little park, several soccer fields, a dog park (for both big and little pups) with lots of trails, a lot of parking (although not always during a tournament), a new playground, and lights for night play. The one detractor is that it is not within walking distance of anything else - it's fenced on one side by the recycling plant, and leading up to it is a large warehouse-company area. There is even a lake for some canoeing, if...

It's a decent park if you live in the area. Its large but a big part of it is a steep hill leading down to a kind of dirty lake. The top of the hill is a small field which is a nicer area. Again if you go into it expecting a smaller park and you live close by then it's good. There is almost always 2-3 dog owners there which is another plus. Probably wouldn't come from another city to see it though. Oh and there is a nice small dog park...
