One of the greatest off leash dog parks in the Kansas City area would have to be the Shawnee Mission Dog Park. Complete with a swimming area, trails & wash station, you're dog is set to have a great day while beating the summer heat! Just remember to wear your walking shoes! It's a bit of a trek from the parking lot to the lake, but it's all about the journey, not the destination, right? This location is all around beautiful from beginning to end, top to bottom & your dog is going to love it!
