Laclede's Landing Dog Park

About Laclede's Landing Dog Park

Laclede’s Landing Dog Park, located near the bustling heart of St. Louis under the MLK bridge, has both its charm and challenges. While some appreciate the fenced-in area and plentiful shade, others express concerns about maintenance. The park is known for its unique obstacles and fun layout, but reports of trash and dangerous debris make it a spot that needs attention. Visitors have noted dead grass and exposed wires, which can pose risks for our furry friends.

Parking can be a hassle; nearby lots charge around $2/hour, and street parking is scarce. Dog owners may also be disappointed by the lack of water stations, as many have found that the fountains are often not operational. Additionally, doggy bags were noted to be missing on recent visits, which can detract from the overall experience for both pets and their humans.

Despite these drawbacks, the park offers a lively scene, with excited pups running around and a variety of obstacles to explore. Just keep in mind that the surroundings can be somewhat public, with occasional passerby comments. For those who enjoy a casual outing with their dog and don’t mind the imperfections, Laclede’s Landing can still be a fun place to visit—especially with nearby dog-friendly shops to grab a bite afterward.
