Our dog Kiska enjoyed the Gateway Arch park. There are many trees so lots of squirrels. When we walked to the waterfront boat area, she saw and her first rat. It was a very hot summer day, so we stayed in the grass and shade except for the few pics we took under the arch. There are more trees and much more green space than I expected, since it is the smallest National Park.
There are a lot of water fountains around, but you will need a bowl for your pup.
We visited after hours, so there were no Park rangers around for her to participate in the BARK ranger program.

This WDPark has the largest wooded dog park I have ever seen. The large dog park area is almost half a mile from the front entrance to the back gate. It is wooded, so there is tons of shade. As we walked the whole path, we kept thinking it then ended, and then we went through another gate to another section. There are three main sections, and each one has a water spout. At the entrance, they recommend you bring your bowl, but there are some there too, and in the back or middle area, there is even a kiddie pool. At first, there weren’t any other dogs there, and then we met a cute Aussie pup who is a regular and then a man with two little Pitts. They all had fun playing.

I give some owners ZERO bones because there was a ton of dog crap all over, which should not be the case since the part has bags and trash cans. Come on
