Cruse (Members Only) Dog Park Parking & Trailhead

Cruse Dog Park is Springfield’s first off-leash dog park, officially opened in November 2008 as a 6-acre members-only facility managed by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board. Located at 1069 S Wabash Ave, the park features separate fenced areas for large dogs (4½ acres) and small dogs (1½ acres), with amenities including water stations, dog toilets, and adjacent access to Jordan Valley Creek for walking trails. Membership costs $40 annually per dog with a two-dog maximum, and day passes are available for visitors, with all dogs required to be registered and vaccinated for entry.
