 Officially opened in April of 2004, Penn Valley Dog Park is the first off-leash dog park operated by the City of Kansas City, Mo., Parks and Recreation. The dog park is a 2.7 acre fenced off-leash area with two double-gated entries for safety. It offers water fountains for people and dogs, as well as a spigot for filling water bottles. The Penn Valley Off-Leash Dog Park is open seven days a week from dawn until one hour after dusk. Please have responsible fun as you (and your dog) enjoy the park.

 The Dogpark Improvement Group is a volunteer, non-profit organization composed of individuals coming together to raise funds to improve the Penn Valley Dogpark.
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Ordinance 14-33(a) requires dogs to be on leashes in public areas for the protection of fellow citizens, as well as for the safety of the dogs. To offer the numerous residents with dogs living in our community an opportunity to enjoy public parks with their dogs off-leash, Kansas City Parks and Recreation supports the development of a few off-leash dog areas to provide safe places for dogs to exercise, play and socialize. These guidelines are written to support constructive discussion and assessment of any potential off-leash area. Download the guidelines. |
