Who We Are
The Frenchtown Dog Park Association ("FDPA") was created in 2004 by local residents to meet the needs of the families with dogs residing in the Old Frenchtown Neighborhoods in St. Louis consisting of Benton Park, Lafayette Square, LaSalle Park and Soulard. The Dog Park Association's goal is to provide an urban green space that offers a safe and secure environment within which residents can exercise their dogs and socialize with their neighbors.
The Frenchtown Dog Park is the only dog park within Ward 7 of City of Saint Louis, and, with a lot size of over 3/4 of an acre, it is one of the largest enclosed green spaces in the city where dogs and their owners can exercise safely in a fenced-in area. The Dog Park functions as a safe, enclosed area for dogs, as well as a location for education classes aimed at promoting responsible pet ownership. The park is available for animal adoption events and organized social gatherings.
The Frenchtown Dog Park Association has received generous support from John and Lucille Wendling, Mr. Michael Stokes, Alderwoman Phyllis Young, The Mardi Gras Foundation, the Employee Community Fund of Boeing, and the surrounding Frenchtown neighborhoods.
