Southwest City Dog Park (Members Only)

Southwest City Dog Park (SWCDP) is located in Willmore Park in St. Louis and serves as one of the oldest and largest membership-based dog parks in the city. Funded and managed entirely by member volunteers and overseen by a volunteer governing board, the park offers 1.1 acres of fenced-in space where dogs can play off-leash, with separate areas for large and small breeds, agility equipment, dog wash stations, and seasonal amenities like pools and winter shelters. The park requires membership with proof of current vaccinations and operates through annual membership fees from residents and fundraising efforts rather than city funding.
