Broemmelsiek Park Off-Leash Dog Area is a favorite destination for dog owners in Defiance, Missouri. This massive, well-kept 5-acre dog park features a beautiful, clean pond with a dock for dog swimming and dock diving, making it ideal for dogs who love water play. The expansive grounds provide plenty of grassy area for running and socializing, and the park is known for its friendly community of attentive owners.
The park offers a number of pet-friendly amenities, including public restrooms adjacent to the site, covered shelters, benches spread throughout for owner comfort, a doggy water station, and ample waste stations equipped with bags. Whether you’re looking to let your pups run free or relax in a tranquil, natural setting, Broemmelsiek Park is the place to be for dog-friendly hiking, picnics, and canine adventures in St. Charles County. Don’t forget to bring a floating toy and a towel for your wet, happy dog!
This off leash park is on our top list! Not only does it have an awesome pond for the dogs to jump in and swim, the dry area for the dogs to run around is huge! There are benches scattered all over. There is a covered area with more benches, and human restrooms right next to the park. Doggy water station and waste station on site. It’s great. Bring your pup, floating toy and a picnic basket, and you are set.

Is amazing! 5 acre well kept land, pond and a dock for our two energetic husky pups. Plenty of space to sit, shelter space plus doggie bags scattered around the area. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a space to let your puppies run free! Also a great excuse for dog lovers to be social!
Attended the “Firefly Date Night” at Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles again (did this 2 years ago also). The St. Charles County Parks department personnel had fudge, chocolate, mini-cupcakes, cookies, and cool sparkling drinks. After some tasties, introduction and a couple of firefly poems, and a killer sunset, we took a short (1/2 mile) hike along a manicured path through the “Firefly Field”. They were out in force. It was a beautiful evening, and the hike and fireflies were really nice. Major KUDO’s to the St. Charles County Parks Department for the numerous Parks and activities, and their very knowledgeable and personable staff. The evening was very enjoyable.
This a peaceful and very chill place for large and extra large dogs. With a very large fenced roaming area, all the owners keep a watchful eye and are always engaged, making sure all dogs are comfortable and that no fights break out. I feel very at ease here with my very shy 110 lb. German Shepard/Great Dane mix; Chaos my dog loves it when I say: Let’s go to the Water Dog Park! He heads straight for the car and waits somewhat patiently for me to open the car door. He loves the pond with aeration fountain and easily spends 3 hours here dog paddling and playing with new friends. If your puppy friend needs socialization, start here. Afterwards, a long nap is always required!.
Without a doubt the BEST dog park in the area! It’s free and absolutely massive. The grounds are well taken care of and the lake is beautiful – there’s also a dock to practice dock diving! We’ve never had a negative experience with anyone else’s dogs either. Owner always seem to be attentive and mindful of how their dogs are behaving.
The area surrounding the lake is a combination of pebbles and then a very large grassy area for the dogs to play in. They replant the grass as needed and just re-seeded earlier this year towards the front of the park. The lake is also clean and free from any weird algae or other growths.
There are always tons of tennis balls and lots of dogs there! I’d recommend this park even if you don’t have a dog because it’s such a blast watching everyone else’s pups run around and play in the water. Just make sure you wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting wet/messy, because there are A LOT of wet (and happy) dogs here.
Be ready to book a bath afterwards or visit a self-service dog wash to clean up your pup/s. 🙂
