2026 ADDED AMENINITY! (See in description )Denise's 1 Acre Fenced Private Dog Park In Swansea

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome! Our property’s back yard has a large lake, which acts as part of the “fencing”. Otherwise, it is fully fenced. So if your furbaby is a swimmer, they will LOVE it here! There is a ramp leading directly into the water near our dock. However if your fur baby loves to swim TOO much, and decides to exit the lake on the opposite side of our property or in a neighbor’s yard, then you may have to hop in your car and retrieve them around the block, but If they have good recall, awesome! Bring a picnic blanket and relax under a tree!! Lots of shade, and wildlife (ducks, geese, squirrels, raccoons) (Do not let your dog harm any of the wildlife). If your dog is a “prey” dog and you fear it will chase and catch a duck, goose, raccoon, then this may not be the place for you. “Leave It” is one of the best learned commands a pooch can have! 😁Please note, the lower half our our property is gated, but you are welcome to roam back there with dog on leash, only because this is very close to raccoons and possums. We do care for an injured raccoon, but have other visitors now, such as possums, stay cats and skunk. (Typically we only see these guys at night, but just still be very mindful). We love ALL animals and want to respect them. If your fur baby knows “leave it” then FANTASTIC! Also the lower half of yard is hilly with some stumps/stones here and there, so use caution…roam at your own risk. 😊 During the winter, if the lake is freezing over or frozen, we will NOT allow bookings. However if you do book during a winter month, when the lake is questionable, you resume 100% responsibility for your pup and yourself. THE 2026 ADDED AMENINITY: Fishing is allowed! Have some fun too while your pup is having a good time! BRING YOUR OWL POLE AND BAIT. We throw our fish back, but if you catch a nice size catfish, you are welcome to keep. ONE PER VISIT THOUGH. Please be responsible with any hooks or bait. Please do not leave on property and avoid hooks getting left in trees and the lake. Water bowl, toys and poop bags available for your use while here. Please do clean up after your pooch/pooches. ENJOY!🐶😊💕

Compton Heights Private Dog Park In St. Louis

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Sniff Through History at Trabert Manor Welcome to Trabert Manor, a magnificent 1890s Beaux-Arts estate tucked into the historic Compton Heights neighborhood. This fully fenced one-acre lawnscape offers pups a safe and spacious place to roam, zoom, sniff, and explore beneath the elegant architecture and mature trees of one of the city’s most beautiful historic districts. What truly makes this spot special, however, isn’t just the setting — it’s the incredible community of dogs and dog lovers who visit. Over time we’ve welcomed the most delightful parade of pups: joyful zoomers, thoughtful sniffers, gentle seniors, curious puppies, and the occasional dramatic stick-collector. Their humans are just as wonderful — kind, respectful, and clearly devoted to their four-legged companions. We’re grateful for each of you who helps make this space feel so welcoming. Your pup will find plenty of room to roam, a polished lawn perfect for running or rolling, and a calm, upscale environment where dogs can simply be dogs. We provide water, toys, and clean-up supplies so you can relax and enjoy the visit. Reservations are kept intentionally spacious and peaceful, allowing every dog the time to explore without feeling rushed. Before or after your visit, we warmly encourage you to take a stroll through the beautiful tree-lined streets of Compton Heights. The historic homes, gardens, and views of nearby Compton Hill Reservoir Park make for a lovely walk with your pup. Thank you to all the wonderful dogs and devoted owners who have made Trabert Manor such a joyful place for wagging tails and happy memories. We look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged friend. — Trabert Manor

Frequently asked questions about Gillespie dog parks

Are there dog parks in Gillespie for reactive dogs?

Yes! Gillespie has 351 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Gillespie Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.

How many private dog parks are in Gillespie?

Gillespie has 351 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 42+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and dog fields options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Gillespie dog owners.

Are Gillespie dog parks friendly for all dog types?

Absolutely! Gillespie Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.

Will there be other dogs at Gillespie dog parks?

No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Gillespie dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.

What makes Gillespie dog parks safe for anxious dogs?

Gillespie Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.

Can puppies use Gillespie dog parks?

Absolutely! Gillespie dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Gillespie Sniffspot.

Are Gillespie dog parks good for small dogs?

Yes! Many Gillespie Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Gillespie private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

What are the requirements for Gillespie dog parks?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Gillespie host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
