Forest Park Southeast Members Only Dog Park — Attraction in St. Louis

Forest Avenue Dog Park is where dogs come to strut their stuff and maybe teach humans a trick or two. Located conveniently next to a children's playground, it's where Fido can make canine friends while your kids make, well, human ones. Fancy a game of fetch or basketball? Your pick, because this park's got both! And if you're planning a visit to the Barnes Jewish Hospital, you might just be in for the shortest commute of your life.

What I Like: Adjacent to a Children's Playground: perfect for multitasking parents. Basketball Court: for the days you fancy being Michael "Bark" Jordan. Close to Barnes Jewish Hospital: fluffy breaks before or after appointments. The Mysterious Parking Karma: always a spot waiting just for you.

What You Might Not Like: Dust City: welcome to your dog's new Eau de Dust look. BYODB (Bring Your Own Dog Bags): the park's unique green initiative. One Size Fits All Playground: Chihuahua meets Great Dane BFF. Twilight Bark: for that canine 'Blair Witch' ambiance.

All in all, Forest Avenue Dog Park is a decent park that gets the job done. Just remember your dog bags, and maybe...

A great place to go touch grass. It has a nice 10 minute hard surface walking loop. Nice views all around. Very kid friendly! I can easily keep an eye on my playing children wherever they are. It's the perfect size to let them ride...

We didn't need a membership to go here but the gate looked like we did. It doesn't work. I don't know who would pay for the little square space, but it was fine for what we needed, which was time out of the car. Not many dogs came while we were there, but it was a humid day. One day the trees will be big enough and provide shade, but for now, it's just ehh. Would definitely check out a different dog...
