Miner Bark Park

location_onGlen Carbon, IL

Miner Bark Park gives dog owners in Glen Carbon an off-leash spot in this Madison County village, part of the Metro East region across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. The name nods to the area's coal-mining heritage, and the park itself operates free of charge as a public facility. Fencing is not confirmed in our records, so check the boundary on site before letting your dog off-leash if you count on an enclosure. Surface, hours, and amenities are not documented, so plan to bring your own water and waste bags and read the posted rules when you arrive. Southwestern Illinois tends to run milder than the northern part of the state, giving you a longer comfortable season for outdoor play across spring, summer, and fall.
