There used to be a school (no longer there). Two of the four picnic tables are new (but they all look brand new to me). He has maintained the open pavilions above the tables too. The grounds and structures are well maintained and everything is clean. This is a great place for a little picnic! Be aware that you need to walk up a few stairs to get to the nice, flat, level area.

The location is right next to the Missouri River and has a gorgeous view. There is a lovely little porch with chairs and picnic tables. The center provides binoculars and books to help identify local birds. My daughter loves the huge fish tank display of native fish. She also enjoys the tortoises and the snakes in the Snake Room. They are almost always having a scavenger hunt for the kids with prizes. Personally, I enjoy browsing the reading material in the little store and have bought several books. There is a very detailed exhibit on the history of Saint Joseph which is really interesting. It includes details that I have not read about anywhere else. So if you enjoy history, you should definitely pay this place a visit.

Cons: isolated on country down gravel roads, outhouse type bathroom, no running water or trash cans. Even with the pros and cons it's a great place - the grass is mowed and a currently dry creek runs right by or through.

There are several spots with dog waste bags to use. I only seen a garbage can by the gate. It would be nice to have more garbage cans to throw waste. It would also be nice if people would be respectful and pick up after their dogs. I managed to see several piles of poo. If everyone does their part the park will stay nice. My fur babies loved the place and we will be back.

The water fountain and the poo stations are conveniently placed. Some attendees need to reread the dog park etiquette but this is still one of the best dog parks I've been too out of many cities. Plus, 5 dollars a year for the membership is soooo reasonable.

I had not seen as much of St. Joseph as I had wanted the day before (it was Sunday and everything was closed) I drove back from the park where I stayed. I called their number and the owner, very personable, gave me the address and a good time to come. He and his mechanic had the pump replaced in just a little over an hour. I loved their workshop, and they let me know exactly what was happening. The two worked together intensively to trouble-shoot the unusual and hard-to-work-on Airstream Interstate layout. Make sure you use a GPS to find the place. It is a small operation, but clearly his customers are satisfied. The pump works perfectly and being able to get it repaired so quickly made a huge difference to the rest of my trip. He also recommended a vet to take my dog to (see review for Twin Pines).
