Dundas Opens a New Dog Park and Parking Lot for the East Cannon River Trail

The City of Dundas opened a new dog park earlier this week. The old park has already had the fence removed, and in 2025, the city will be conducting maintenance work on the drainage ponds next to the park. After the maintenance work next year, the city will decide on a plan for the old park. While the new park, located on 1st Street North in Dundas, is open, City Administrator Jenelle Teppen noted that the Canines at Play group that adopted the park is interested in building a picnic shelter and will work with the city on the project in the coming months.

The park also has a new parking lot that serves the adjacent East Cannon River Trail as well. The trail forms a 5-mile loop with Mill Towns State Trail on the other side of the Cannon River. From the new park, you can follow the trail up to the pedestrian bridge near Kwik Trip in Northfield, cross the river, travel back along the trail through Sechler Park toward downtown Dundas, and then cross the river again.
