Lucky Minkler Memorial Dog Park offers about 7.5 acres of flat, fenced grass in Brush Prairie, with enough room for running, fetch and longer loops around the field. The park has double-gated entries, a separate small-dog area, benches and a seasonal water spigot for dogs. A southwest gate also connects to the Lauretta Noreen Forest Preserve, where dogs must return to a leash.

Open field, trail and seasonal water
The broad field gives active dogs room to sprint, but the limited tree cover can make warm, clear days feel exposed. Bring human drinking water and backup water for your dog because the spigot is seasonal. The dirt and grass route can become dusty in summer or muddy during wet weather, so keep a towel in the car.
Small-dog area
The smaller-dog enclosure has a separate entrance. Follow the posted gate guidance and choose the area that fits your dog’s size, confidence and play style. Pause before entering when a group is crowded or highly excited.
Leashed forest preserve access
The southwest gate from the main dog park leads toward the Lauretta Noreen Forest Preserve. Dogs must be leashed on the forest trails. Access the preserve through the dog park only and stay off the private road beside the property.
Rules before you enter
Clark County requires dogs older than eight weeks to be licensed and requires handlers to pick up and dispose of waste, including inside off-leash areas. Bring bags because the county does not promise stocked dispensers at this location.
Stay with your dog, keep the gates closed and remove a dog that becomes aggressive or overwhelmed. Carry a leash and attach it before leaving the fenced area or entering the preserve. Report urgent animal-control problems to Clark County at 564-397-2488 during business hours or 311 after hours.
What other park goers say
Park goers often highlight the unusually large open field, the separate small-dog space, the walking loop and the chance to add a leashed forest walk. Visitors also appreciate the simple layout and room for fetch away from crowded urban parks.
Other visitors mention limited shade in the main field, seasonal water, mud or dust depending on weather, and parking pressure at busy times. Bring water and waste bags, check the field conditions, and watch the energy near the gates before entering. Read current visitor reviews.
