You need proof of rabies vaccination to get the dog tag and gate code from city hall. They also request a picture. There is a pool that you can drain out (the old water goes into the creek behind the park) and refill with clean water if you wish. It's shallow enough for most dogs to wade in. You'll often see dogs just laying in the water on warm days. My puppy just discovered the miracle that is water, and loves splashing around in the pool. Since I didn't think she would go in the water the first time at the park, I wasn't prepared and didn't bring a towel. Now I always keep one in my car! There are some strict rules for the park: no dog food/treats, no leashes, no digging, etc. All of which keeps this place well kept and pristine. There are always toys around so I stopped bringing my own.

It's an awesome little community where dog and owner get to make friends. My dog loves running around and getting the "pack" feel. It's never too crowded which is nice and I love the amenities like the pool, benches, water bowls, and toys that are free for anyone to use. I also like the membership idea because it makes me feel like my dog is safe. Every single dog there is up to date on shots because that's one of the rules. Highly recommend

Very well maintained with plenty of room to spread out. Multiple water spickets throughout the park. The fence is very nice and has chicken wire at the bottom so smaller dogs can't get out. Clean restrooms right next to the park. Beautiful grass, multiple water dishes, dog waste stations (bags), toys, a pavilion to sit under while you dog enjoys itself. We only started going here this week and we are yet to see anyone else here. Look forward to using this place for years to come.

He did so good until a big dog came up and started biting him it wasn't vicious or anything it was playing but my dog didn't understand we kept pulling him away and my dog kept backing up because he was afraid and the dog kept following this is at no fault of the dog they don't completely understand as we do but the owner was not paying attention to his dog at all I kept looking at him hoping he would get his dog and he was preoccupied on his phone. The dog continued to follow and jump on me and my dog so I tried petting him to calm him down and he starting biting my arm again playfully but still kinda hurt which it doesn't bother me at all they are dogs and I love dogs but this guy should have been watching his dog. Other than that everyone was really nice and my dog loved playing with other dogs! I didn't get many pictures he was too excited but there are 3 sections that you can go into!

This is the first city that we've been to were you to pay for a dog park. Honestly it's pretty clean, not a lot of trash or poop around but not much dogs either.

There are double gates so that no dog escapes by mistake. There is a separate section for little dogs. In each area, there are several benches for humans. There is one trashcan at the entrance, but bring your own poop bags. There is also a bucket of toys/balls/frisbees to use while in the park. If you happen to throw a ball over the fence, there is a back gate so you don't have a walk all the way around. If someone from the church sees that you are parked near the dog park, they might come over to chat and make sure everything is going well. She'll also invite you to join their Facebook page. Very friendly and welcoming group!

Things I would change: Park is closed from late March-June. My pups are sad when they don't have a place to run, especially when it's the nicest part of the year; I feel guilty that I'm not able to be a volunteer (I work on weekends) since they ask for a lot of help from members; people who have come since it opened can be a bit cliquey, however I have met a lot of new members like me. Overall a great dog park

Terrible!!! Why on earth does anyone need a membership for a CITY dog park? (The gate is locked so…read morethe average passer by can't simply stop in) Also kids aren't allowed!!! Not even when I offer to keep him on top of my shoulders! Let me understand this: I can take my dog to the dog park, but I have to leave my kid at home? Or take my kid to a park but leave my dog at home? What kind of a screwed up snobbery is going on in this town & park? Extremely disappointed. The only dog park I've ever needed a membership for had a bar and wait staff. This is a major FAIL STL! Seemed I needed to bow to the dog park gods who wanted a damn DNA sample to allow me in. As a recent transplant (renting in U-city) looking to buy a home I'll be crossing U-City off my list. Good luck with your property values.

Please beware that smaller dogs may be able to fit under the fence or even through the fence bars. My 20 lb dog was able to get through the fence bars without much effort.

This park offers gated greenery and tons of running and playing space for the local pups and it is so much fun even to go as humans. If you are looking for somewhere to take your dogs and have not been here, you need to come! Pro tip: 95% of dogs are NOT on leashes and WILL approach your dog. If your dog will not be comfortable with this or is not friendly, this may not be the place for you. We started our dog on a leash and slowly worked our way up to letting him off and he enjoys this place now so much!

From the Park & Rec Dept website: More than just "room to roam"…read more To use the 2.5 acre dog park: Owners must register their dogs and provide proof of their dog's immunization records to the Parks & Recreation office. Owners then receive a swipe card for access to the park. I take "Angus": our Australian Shepherd (a 21/2 year old rescue) here on a daily basis. He's a little hyper and still adjusting, so I use the park so he can get up in the morning and run himself silly chasing the pedestrian and bike traffic that runs parallel to the Dog Park. My wife usually takes him in the near dusk time to allow him to unwind for the evening and he's been socializing with the other dogs. While many owners let the dogs run "free" not everyone should; unless they know their dog's temperament around other animals and people. While this is a good learning experience for him; my wife and I sometimes have to corral him in the smaller dog area when he's wanting to herd other dogs and not be social. It's a great park and while they've an agility course in the large dog side of the park, it's missing a jump bar that was damaged sometime after the opening. The smaller dog area has a few agility items and we usually take Angus there to practice the smaller obsticle course.
