A fun place for your canine family member to run and play! Located east of the observation tower on John Barkley Drive, the 53-acre off-leash area features a dog swim area along with wood chip and natural surface trails through grassland and wooded areas. The area is open year-round

during regular park hours except EVERY Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 am to 9:00 am, when the off leash area will be closed for routine maintenance. During maintenance closures (EVERY Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 am to 9:00 am) , our intention is to conduct a higher level of maintenance to the area without compromising dog and patron safety. To view the location of the off-leash area in the park please see the Shawnee Mission Park Map. For the enjoyment of all patrons and pets all JCPRD Dog Off-Leash Area Code of Conduct/Rules apply. JCPRD has a total of four dog off-leash areas. Our off-leash areas are located in Heritage Park, Thomas S. Stoll Memorial Park and Kill Creek Streamway Park (at the 95th Street access point). Each off-leash area offers an enclosed, fenced area.
