A vast majority of the time there's great people & their dogs are monitored very well, this makes a great place to take your favorite puppy for some runtime. Occasionally and I mean rarely a situation arises where the dogs are misbehaving or the owners are being less than publicly pleasant. You will need to be the judge of that circumstance for your tolerance level. The City parks department does a fantastic job managing and maintaining the facilities which adds to the comfort of having a clean, secure place to take Fido or FeeFee out for some exercise. Overall it is a wonderful place to enjoy time with your furry family friends and meet new bipedal comrades to converse with. read more

I've come here multiple times over the last two weeks and has been closed every single time when I called the office to find out why it was closed because it's such a nice day. They stated it was due to the rain. The park is not flooded. you can clearly see there are no puddles even anywhere in the area, but they just said it was closed due to the rain. It's frustrating that we pay for the park where I live and we can't even utilize it. I recommend calling the office and hopefully they are open so that you can utilize the dog park for your babies on a nice day. It's not a very long drive but it's a secluded area so I would hate for someone to drive all the way out here just for it to be closed. read more

This park is underrated in the STC area. I love coming here with my pup, pulling out my camping chair, and hanging out in the park's field while I let my dog roam around and get his exercise. I highly recommend this place more than the park beside the river since you have more shade and a cooler breeze here! read more

the park is nice but the smell ruins just about everything. smells like a hot diaper out there.

we love dusable dog park! one of the few dog parks in the area that doesn't require monthly fees. lots of dogs around and have a nice separate area for big vs small dogs. always a good experience! read more

I know this dog park doesn't compare to the huge one in Wentzville but it's perfect for me and my little pup. They have three gated areas for big and small breeds. They have restrooms near by with a water fountain and the dogs owners that do go clean up after their dogs. They do have some odd hours but you can always call and check to see if the park is open. They have balls and benches. Enough room to play ball and lots of friendly friends to play with. Yay dog park. read more

DuSable Dog Park - Three nice gated areas for them to play!! - Dog Parks Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

While I'm grateful for having a dog park, it just seemed creepy and not safe. I wish maybe there were more of a police presence there. Sadly I've seen homeless people there. I Wish St Charles did more for the homeless. We need more resources in order to get them the help they make need. Remember that a lot of us are just one pay check from being homeless! God bless read more

I confess, we have a small, very spoiled dog who really doesn't think she's a dog - she thinks she's a princess. It's not that she doesn't like other dogs, it's that she doesn't feel that she has anything in common with them. So, being the helicopter dog mom that I am, I went out to check out DuSable Dog Park before I would let my little baby girl anywhere near the place. Immediately, I was impressed. It is clean, well-manicured, and free of anything that would be dangerous to dogs. There are three fenced-in areas - one for large dogs, one for small dogs, and one that is open which I assume is to let the grass grow before they put dogs back into it. Satisfied that it was good enough for our little girl, we took her over on a Sunday when it was a bit crowded. There were probably 30 little dogs on the little dog side, but we went in anyway, figuring we could fend off a little dog or two if we had to. We didn't have to - all of the owners were very respectful of other dogs, which kind of surprised us (because you know how some people are - treating their pets like humans and all!). The dogs were running around, but the owners were right there making sure that they didn't bother any other dogs or owners. Our dog stayed very close to us for a while, and then branched out where she was walking around (not running, as that is not ladylike). She was getting a little sniffy with some other dogs, which we hadn't seen her do before. She wasn't making any BFFs, but she did wag just a little bit. The big dog side had a lot of dogs in it, and they were well-segregated from the little dogs. Each side had places to sit, and people also brought their own lawn chairs. Each area has plenty of water for all the dogs, and two of the areas have picnic tables under small shelters. The only thing I'd change is that the big dog and the little dog sections share one gate to get in. Although all of the big dog people were respectful and held their dogs back when a little dog came through, it would have been better to have the gates on opposite sides. We'll definitely go back, and maybe our dog will become more friendly with the other little dogs, and maybe we'll learn to be less protective...nah! read more

Best. Dog Park. In St. Louis Metro. Large dogs/small dogs are separated, friendly people and friendly officers. Please pick up your dog's poop and they also have a group on fb you can join. Sometimes you can find out if people will be there or not, before you arrive. read more

Good dog park Two sections one for larger dogs one for smaller. Water available for pups Covered picnic area Lights for night time playing Bring the bug spray read more

I love dog parks, and my dogs enjoy them too. Haha. The park is always clean, the fencing is very secure, the "man trap" door is very safe for the puppies, and there is a good "creeper" to "normal" person ratio. I am comfortable with my wife going there without me. The St. Charles City Police patrol regularly. read more

Great dog park! It's free, large, and has separate parks for big and small dogs. The only gripe I have is that it is located across the street from a sewage treatment plant, which often makes the air stink. read more

Several of the dog owners here are disrespectful and non-responsive to their dogs behavior. Not much space to run around, glad the new dog park off Kisker was recently built. read more

Oy, I had to knock this place down a star based on my last visit. They have some serious drainage problems in the big dog area. Makes for one gigantic mud puddle - aka DOG MAGNET. Plus, it was gnat central. I could only stand it for about 20 minutes before I decided I'd eaten enough of them and it just wasn't worth it. There are people working to improve the park, including asking dog owners to sign a petition to solve these drainage problems. They suggested having a donation box/online donation tool if you want to help support improvements. I'd be all for that! Plus.. if you're going.. PLEASE don't bring your small children. This is a place for dogs to play.. which usually involves running packs and creating gigantic doggy tumbling messes.. Kids in strollers DO NOT belong, particularly if you're going to freak out every time my dog comes up and thinks about sniffing Precious Junior. read more

This place is tucked away off the beaten path but worth the trip. Both sections of the park that were open were quite spacious and there were great grassy areas to run and play. There were lots of dirt/muddy areas too, but I'm guessing the land is still recovering from the tons of recent snow. There was a great mix of dogs, and folks with medium-sized dogs moved between the two areas fairly often, so don't feel pressured to stick to just one side. We saw one guy drop off his dog and then go sit in his truck in the parking lot instead of staying inside the fence and watching her. This was frowned upon by everyone there, so please don't be *that* person! This place would have normally received 3/4 stars because of the condition of the grass (nonexistent in many places) and random mud pits, but since it's one of the very few dog parks in St. Louis that is FREE, I'm a happy camper. read more

Yeah I'm going to say that this is a super awesome dog park with pretty good attendance of both small and big dogs. Sandy's review pretty much sums everything up. It's great for both our 80 pound Chow / Akita mutt and little Pekingese. One thing of note is that one of the areas has a pavillion in it, so I wonder if you can actually reserve it and have a dog-friend picnic! read more

I've been to this park with my 9 month old puppy 4 times. At first I thought it was going to be great - lots of dogs, nice grassy area, covered benches for owners, and it's FREE. I gave 2 stars because the property is nice and they have 3 different areas that they rotate between for small dogs, big dogs and one closed area to give the grass a break. Everything went pretty well on our first visit, my puppy is about 40 pounds and very submissive to other dogs. I did notice some dogs causing problems but they left my dog alone so I ignored it and kept my hopes up. Some of the owners that I talked to were very friendly and attentive to their dogs. However, the experiences at this dog park went downhill. A lot of owners do not control their overly aggressive dogs (these dogs don't even belong in a dog park in the first place). My dog got rolled, trampled and bullied every time. Some people clearly cannot read dog behavior - if my dog is running away with her tail tucked between her legs, ears pinned back, and keeps looking to humans for help, then STOP YOUR DOG from bullying my dog. It's simple but many of the owners are not attentive and do not understand when their dog is being too aggressive and needs to be corrected. On our last visit, a female border collie tried to attack my dog MULTIPLE times. My puppy simply came over to the bench that the owner was sitting on, and boom full on aggressive defensive behavior. Thankfully her owner was there to pull her off (after the dog had my dog pinned though). In this instance the owner was attentive, but didn't handle the situation well. Her dog was very aggressive and I could tell she was going to be a problem the moment she got there - hair standing up on a dogs back is never a good sign. The owner stayed despite her dog trying to attack my dog multiple times. I left after another dog came in and started growling when approached by other dogs. Many aggressive dogs = bad vibe and ruined experience for my sweet puppy. Unfortunately this is the only free dog park in the area and I wish that I could keep going, but the lack of control from owners creates a dangerous environment. I'd rather pay for a dog park membership where the owners are attentive and know what acceptable behavior is. read more

I have been to this park a couple dozen times. My only complaint would be that it floods sometimes during the spring and sometimes has heavy mosquitoes. They rotate the park so that the grass has an opportunity to get a good start and grow it also has a few trees and benches. Would be nice if there was some water for your dogs to drink to cool down but otherwise it's a nice park. read more

Love the fact that there are two large areas for big and small dogs. Very impressed with this park...

I would honestly think twice about going to this dog park if I were you. Though the facility is very nice and most of the people were friendly enough, there is one very LARGE man who rules the park like it is his private fiefdom. I mention his bulk only because he is a bully who literally throws his weight around. He is an amazingly overprotective "pet parent" who intimidates the rest of the dog park people. He was verbally and physically threatening and actually pushed patrons around. This guy is a regular (with friends) and drives a red, four wheel drive truck (license plate ends with 338). If you see it in the parking lot - keep on moving! What started out as a great experience turned into a very, very negative visit. I will never bring my dogs back here and I recommend you avoid this place as well. read more
