What dog owners are saying

Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.

Margaret Peyton3 months ago

Doozle’s Den is such a wonderful, intentionally-designed, play-and-train space for dogs who are reactive, dogs who hate the cold or rain, dogs who need to build confidence by exploring new places, etc.! I’ve taken my pup there 3x and we’ve had so much fun playing with agility equipment and avoiding suboptimal weather conditions. It’s been a haven for me as an owner, where I can let my dog explore and I don’t have to worry about rogue off-leash dogs bombing us at the park or squirrels getting my dog too riled up to train. My pup, Cleo, can be wary of new people the first time they meet and the owner did a great job respecting her space and following her cues and tossing treats; now Cleo wags her tail when she sees her!!! Furthermore, I love that Doozle’s Den offers special rates for shelter dogs so they can get a break from the shelter. Especially as winter turns bitter cold, we will be back!!!

Forest Park is hands down one of the best spots in St. Louis! It’s huge, beautiful, and has something for everyone , walking trails, lakes, museums, golf, and so many peaceful spots to just relax. You can spend hours here and still find something new every time. Whether you’re biking, picnicking, or just catching a sunset by the water, the views are always stunning. Plus, it’s super clean and well-kept. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in STL, it’s the heart of the city for a reason!

My daughter and I visit every time we go to St Louis. We visit a different area of the Cemetery and pay our respects to the service men and women there. The grounds are so beautifully kept and maintained.
