E. H. Young Riverfront Park Off-Leash Dog Park Large Dog Area
About the Park
This well-maintained off-leash dog park features separate sections for small and large dogs along the scenic Missouri River. It's quieter and less crowded than nearby parks, with shade and simple agility obstacles available. Water access has been frequently reported as unavailable due to locked hydrants and broken fountains. The park sits close to train tracks, and passing trains can create loud noise and frighten some dogs.
