Dakota County, MN Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

10, Roller-Skating, In-Line Skating, and Skateboarding, permits these activities within Dakota County Park property only in designated areas and lists three unlawful acts. 8. The second prohibition bars operating skates or a skateboard in a manner that creates a nuisance or endangers the safety or property of any park visitor, park employee, or the skater themselves. The third bars speeds faster than is reasonable and safe with regard to the safety of the operator and other people in the immediate area, the same reasonable-and-safe standard the ordinance applies to bicycles, horses, cross-country skis, and snowmobiles elsewhere in Chapter 6.

10 does not reference Minn. ch. 4, with its 15 mph cap. Because this is a park-specific ordinance under Chapter 6, Recreational Activities, it governs skateboarding and skating on county park property; it does not regulate skateboarding on city sidewalks, streets, or downtown business districts, which is a matter for the individual city that has jurisdiction there.
