Creve Coeur Dog Park is a great one. There is hardly anyone there when I go and it’s a very clean place.

Only problem is that two of these spots are limited to members/residents. We walked around Willmore and looked in longingly. Think the Creve Coeur park is terrific, but the 1/4 mile walk is too much for us…and we’re not residents of CC. Bummer

I agree Kathleen. Willmore is very hard to sign your dog up for and has way too many dogs in it. I have walked around the park and checked that dog park out a couple of times. When I have tried to sign up for it, have always been told its full.
