about us
Since 2002 our off-leash dop play area has provided a safe, fun environment for dogs of all kinds to enjoy. Since our opening in 2002, we have been steadily increasing the amenities of our park. From adding lights and heated water bowls to concrete side walks and plenty of toys- we love our park, and we hope you will too. Nestled in the neighborhood of University City, Missouri we do our best to provide an incomparable experience for our canine friends and their people. Feel free to explore the site for cost details, awards we've won, and how to contact us.
Looking forward to many tail wags with you and your best friend!

Satisfied Customers
“I LOVE bringing my dog, Walter, here! He loves being able to run free, and I love watching him have fun. So glad we found this place! ”
“At the U City Dog Play Area my dog gets to stretch her legs and sprint to her hearts content and I know she safe in doing so. It lets me give her the exercise she wants, that I can’t provide with just walking”
“I’ve been bringing my dogs, Marley and Gertie, to the U City Dog Play Area for the last four years! Moving to a new city, I wanted to make sure that my dog had a place to go to get exercise and make new friends, I was also hoping to make new friends too! We’ve found new friends and people that love their dogs as much as I do!”
“I love the dog park because apartment dwellers can have dogs without guilt. Ernie loves it because people treat him like royalty, and he can chase buses to his heart’s content.”
