Now that we finally have a break from 90 degree days for a bit 🥵 so we thought it would be a great time to bring in our special friend @henry_the_kc_dood and share our favorite local dog parks for fur parents and their babies to get out and play! 🌳

These are our 🔝5️⃣ Kansas City dog parks to visit this summer, no matter where you live in the metro!

1️⃣ CITYDOGs KC in the Crossroads offers shaded off-leash play under a bridge, plus local beer and food trucks. 

2️⃣ Penn Valley Off-Leash Dog Park is fenced, double-gated, and minutes from downtown. 

3️⃣Shawnee Mission Park’s 44-acre off-leash area includes a sandy beach on the lake — perfect for dogs who love to swim.

4️⃣ Wayside Waifs Bark Park gives your dog five fenced acres, and your membership directly supports the animal shelter. 

5️⃣Finally, our personal favorite hidden gem: Waggin’ Trail in North Kansas City, with an agility course, tunnel runs, and sections separated by size.

Whether you’re in the Crossroads, the Northland, or Johnson County, a great dog park nearby makes a neighborhood feel like home for the whole family, four legs included.
