Best Dog Park
Winner: Shawnee Mission Dog Park
Loved by dogs and their people as well, the Shawnee Mission Park Dog Off-Leash Area is located west of the park’s 87th and Ridgeview entrance. The 44-acre area features a paved trail to the lake and beach area, and wood chip and natural surface trails through grassy and wooded areas. The off-leash area also includes toilets and paved parking. The area is open year-round during regular park hours except during weekly routine maintenance closures, which take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. Other JCPRD off-leash areas are located in Heritage Park, Thomas S. Stoll Memorial Park and Kill Creek Streamway Park.
