Small dogs have their own separately fenced space for safer fun. A large pavilion sits in the middle of the dog park, where the human companions can congregate in the shade. A concrete slab has a hose that is handy for a rinse off. In the summertime, the kiddie pools come out for a splashin' good time. Specially designed water fountains let people drink at the top while their pup laps up on the bottom. This dog park is free and open to the public.

Ste. Genevieve

Ste. Genevieve is located thirty-seven miles east of Desloge. Fleur de Lis Dog Park is as colorful as its name suggests. This dog park was a labor of love by the community. It began as an Eagle Scout project, and soon, the whole city took part in making it a truly beautiful place to take a pup to play. The city donated old tires and drainage pipes, and with a paint can and an artist's touch, pup playground equipment was created. The dog park itself is a fenced, grassy space where all dogs can play together. A single yellow bench, sans shade, gives people a place to sit and watch their pups make a new canine buddy.  No fees or registration is required to use the dog park.
