Compton Heights Private Dog Park In St. Louis

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

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

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!🐶😊💕

K9 Corner STL - Private Dog Run in Webster Groves

This is a privately owned empty residential lot (not a backyard) however there is a neighbor next to the property with a driveway in between. Property is a “pie shape” approximately 2,000 sqft. Fenced section is approximately 130’L with one end at 30’W and the other end at 6’. Entrance is at the corner of Atalanta Avenue and Glen Road. Street parking is on Glen Road (long fence side). The city does not allow signs (see photos for more clarification). This is a residential neighborhood; you will most likely see other people and dogs during your visit but not in the park with you. This is a self regulated private dog park / dog run similar to a regular dog park. There is not water on site however a bowl will be left on site (typically inside the toy box to keep it clean). A pet waste station is available along with a “used” poop bag bucket, trash receptacle, and some dog toys. Please remember to clean up after your dogs, put away toys, and throw away trash. Pesticide free - consider bringing bug spray. To keep moles away, mole spikes that vibrate in the ground are in use and you can hear a buzzing noise. The sand pit / tire area is for digging - please try to keep all digging isolated to the designated area only and try to fill in any holes dug by your dog outside of the pit area. Sun sail is up during spring/summer months only - that’s what the poles are for - no climbing please. Patio umbrellas can be lifted up (use crank) during your visit and MUST BE RETRACTED and use the secure strap at the end of your visit (please use common sense and do not put the umbrellas up if it’s super windy). There is a 5 dog max. We prefer no more than 3 humans to 1 dog; please use the “extra feature” for more visitors. Dogs should NEVER be left unattended. Please note. This park is for dogs to enjoy. This park is NOT a playground for kids/adults. The obstacles, agility equipment, and toys are for the dogs. Humans should not be climbing on the equipment or mis-using the toys. The neighbor does not want toys or tennis balls hitting their vehicles. If we see this type of behavior or rules not being followed, you will potentially be banned from future reservations. *Please understand this is mostly a self-regulated dog run/park. You MUST cleanup after your dog. However sometimes poop gets missed and I give everyone the benefit of the doubt it’s not done intentional. We want all visitors to have a great experience at K9 Corner.* **This spot is not a business to make money for profit. All proceeds are considered donation for upkeep of the dog run, lawn maintenance, dog toys, etc. If you have questions/comments/concerns, please text 314-384-2279.**
