Dog walking in Labadie

South Point

Washington is twelve miles west of Labadie.  South Point Bark Park has what dogs need -- a place to rid that leash and run!  This completely fenced dog play area includes a separately fenced section for safer small dog fun.  The site continues to be improved by the work of dedicated community volunteers. A water source is on the list of improvements for the future. The location has a generous amount of shade.  The trees were retained in the dog park's construction.  The surface is a mixture of grass and dirt.  Things can get muddy at times.  The city of Washington supplies waste stations with dog waste bags.  The Bark Park is free and open to the public.

Washington City Center

Washington is thirteen miles west of Labadie. The Blue Duck is serving some of its special "Duck Fried Rice" just for you and your four-legged dining companion! This restaurant makes you two feel at home at one of its outdoor tables.  The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday and serves only lunch on Tuesdays.  Burger Park at 900 International Avenue will be on the itinerary too from November through August.  This dog park is completely fenced for some off-leash excitement.  The amenities are few since this is not a permanent park. Remember to bring a chair and some water for your visit.

Grover

Wildwood is located thirteen miles east of Labadie.  Happy Hounds Playground is a veritable pooch paradise! It does require a membership and has a coded entrance.  The beautifully landscaped ten acres are wholly enclosed for off-leash exercise and socialization. One area is restricted to smaller pups. The playground equipment tantalizes curious pups into climbing and crawling. During the hot months, the splash pads are a pupular feature of the dog park.  A swimming pond complete with a diving dock of competition-approved measurements makes for a fun and useful addition.  A nature trail lets the people enjoy the park too. A paw-washing station gives pups a quick clean-up before the ride home.
