The Gateway Arch offers a B.A.R.K. Ranger program for dogs. Look at their website for requirements on how to participate. We did it and our dog received a cute little Ranger keychain.
Be sure to bring your own poo bags as we didn’t see any stations in the park.

We visited while staying in St. Louis during our road trip with 2 dogs in April. We parked in a downtown parking garage (bought ticket online night before as website suggested), walked around downtown to see the art and gardens and then walked to the Gateway Arch. Very nice area! Lots of grass, walking paths and nature to enjoy! You can walk down by the river as well. We explored all the paths and then sat and relaxed by the Arch in a huge grassy area. Very cool to see it in person! Weather was perfect. The Gateway Arch National Park has a BARK Ranger program as well and our 2 pups received a bandana each with the Arch on it from the park ranger. Just go into the Visitors Center and ask about the BARK Ranger program.

A lot of park paths and city streets to walk near the arch. You can also take them down near the river.

Gateway Arch National Park was the first park I took Gizmo and Stormy to on our road trip this past summer. It was a great place to walk them with minimal crowds and great photo opportunities.
- AlexanderNov 19, 2022Beautiful Spot
This is a great place to hang out with your dog if you’re in St. Louis. The views are great and seeing the arch up close is worth it at least once. We paid $10 to park near the river and then we were able to walk up the steps to the huge grassy park underneath the arch. I would recommend a retractable leash even if you don’t normally use one, because there is a ton of space. I saw a dog or two off-leash, which is against the rules of the park.

We took our 2 dogs and viewed the arch from the park. It was a beautiful park. Only service dogs are allowed in the building and up into the arch.
- CatMay 28, 2022Great views, clean park
So many directions to walk and take in all the views. Definitely wish i brought a retractable leash because there is the space to let them explore
- MelodieApr 30, 2022Lots of space to walk
Beautifully kept park and your dog can go everywhere with you (aside from inside the arch).
- MarianneSep 24, 2021Beautiful park
Seeing the arch up close was really neat. The surrounding park area has lots of grassy areas and plenty of walking trails.
- NicholasMar 18, 2021Lots of space
There's lots of space to walk your dog and take in the stunning view.
- MelissaAug 15, 2020Very Dog Friendly
there are lots of paths to walk your dog gone as well as lots of grassy areas to relax and play with your pup. There were even clean up stations and the vendors had water bowls for your dog. Very beautiful park!
