The new dog park is member-only and features a fully-enclosed 1.5 acres of space, benches, views of the West Bottoms and Missouri River, a shade pavilion with picnic tables, pet waste bags and two drinking fountains.

It will be open seven days a week, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

To celebrate the opening, organizers are holding a “Yappy Hour.” It will include a cash bar, dog splash pool, canine art and more. Membership is not required for this event.
