About

Opened in August 2012, this facility is the second dog park in the Kansas City system and sits on five acres within Swope Park. The area is divided into two fenced sections: a one-acre zone for dogs under 30 pounds and a four-acre zone for larger dogs. Both sections are equipped with water fountains for dogs and people.

What people say

Praised as a spacious, five-acre off-leash haven with separate areas for small and large dogs, set within a vibrant community hub. Some users note the lack of wheelchair accessibility, swimming areas, and nighttime lighting.
