Confirmed from Tamarack Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature park, featuring an off-leash area for dogs, as well as paved trails and a pond.
What runners say about Tamarack Park
“I recently spent some time at Tamarack Park in Roseville, and it’s such a great spot if you’re looking for a peaceful, well-kept outdoor space.”
“The greenery is beautiful, especially during the warmer months, and there are plenty of shaded areas to relax.”
This is a park with extensive trails to walk, lots of nature to take in, a breath of fresh air to behold.
There is an ADA accessible dog park on Larpenteur Ave entrance. Down that path is a simple one path that loops around. Immediately there's an off-leash dog section with a table to sit or eat at! No sidewalks or anything but even terrain. If you go to the northern end, and park residential there is a sidewalk.
Great park. 2.5 miles of paved hiking trails. Dogs allowed in off leash enclosures w poop bags provided. Handi-capped parking and an outdoor human pooping station near the parking lot. No picnic tables. Unpaved trails are also present.
The lower dog park is fully fenced in, and has really fun terrain for dogs! It's nicely wooded with a hill, and you can see most of the park from the central flat area. My two dogs really seemed to enjoy it!
