Ste. Genevieve

Ste. Genevieve is located 37 miles east of Park Hills. The community pulled together to create the Fleur de Lis Dog Park. This dog park began as an Eagle Scout project and has become a hub for area dogs to get out and have some leash-free fun. The town donated used scraps, like tires and drainage pipes, and with paint and creativity made an eye-catching and tail-waggin' puppy playground! Tunnels, ramps, and old tires give dogs an obstacle course to play in. Dogs of all sizes play in a single grassy area. One yellow bench gives people a place to park and watch their pup have a blast. The dog park does not have water on-site, so make sure to bring some.

Herculaneum

Herculaneum is located 37 miles north of Park Hills. All Bark Village gives dogs a chance to run and play with canine pals leash-free. This fully-fenced, mostly grassy enclosure includes a separate area for small dogs. A pavilion gives people a place to sit out of the sun and watch their furry family member have fun. Water fountains have a dog bowl at the base and are also designed to fill up water bottles. Hoses make it easy to cool a pup down, fill up a kiddie pool, or give that hard-playing dog a good rinse before heading home. This dog park is free and open to the public.

Arnold

Arnold is located 48 miles north of Park Hills. The city of Arnold has two Paw Parks for dogs to exercise and play leash-free. One of them is located at City Park and the other is at Ferd B.
