Scouting out the local dog parks is a must for moving to a new area with your furry friend. Even if you’re simply stopping by St. Louis for a visit, it’s important to locate some dog-friendly hangouts where you can take your pup to stretch their legs after the journey.
While there are a few dog parks throughout the area that don’t require a fee, the majority of St. Louis area dog parks require an annual membership. Be sure to check the rules and call before you go.
