We love our four-legged friends! Over half of the hotels in Rolla are pet-friendly, so we wanted to highlight some fun things to do with your pup.
Buehler Park
A visit to Rolla’s first-ever dog park! Buehler Park features three fenced yards for off-leash play, each with waste stations, water fountains, and seating for pet owners. Easily located off I-44 and just down the road from PetSmart, we recommend a trip to the dog park!
Acorn Trail
This trail is a gem to the Rolla community! The Acorn Trail crosses through the city in a huge loop and connects several parks and landmarks with over seven miles. Three miles of this trail is alongside a small river and can be used for both leisure and transportation; cyclists, walkers, dog-walkers, and others can take advantage of the paved pathway to get outside and have fun. Dogs do need to be on a leash while on this beautiful trail.
The Gardens
This beautifully landscaped outdoor space at Public House Brewing Company in St. James welcomes you and your canine pal. The outdoor seating area is the perfect relaxation station to enjoy a cold beverage, amazing food, games, and the occasional live music.
Pups & Pints at Meramec Vineyards Winery
Throughout September, Meramec Vineyards Winery has a special event for your furry friend. Purchase a meal and bring your dog, and they will give you a free pint glass from Missouri breweries! For every pint sold, $1 will be donated to the Waynesville Animal Shelter. Food and drinks all with your pup? Count us in!
Annual Canine Plunge
Saturday, September 11, the Rolla Park Parks & Rec Department opens the pool to the pooches at Rolla’s well-known Splash Zone! Join them as they close out the 2021 pool season with the coolest pool paw-ty for you and your furry friend. Enjoy door prizes, games, treats, and much more. Admission is $10.
