Happy Tails Park

A Doggy Playground Paradise

Set in Lee's Summit, Missouri, Happy Tails Park is a 4-acre off-leash area where dogs can run freely. You'll find it tucked away under the water tower on SE Ranson Road - a spot the City of Lee's Summit transformed from unused land into a dog park for pups and their owners.

What stands out is how well-maintained the park is, with open, clean grassy areas good for a game of fetch or some playtime.

Play Zones for All Paws

The park separates the areas into sections for large dogs and small dogs, so your tiny Chihuahua won't accidentally become a Great Dane's plaything (or vice versa).

For more athletic dogs, there's an agility course where they can jump, weave, and climb. You can also stretch your legs on the paved walking trail that loops around the park while your dog socializes.

Creature Comforts

No need to pack a gallon of water for your outing - Happy Tails comes equipped with water fountains designed for both two-legged and four-legged visitors. You'll come across water bowls scattered throughout, ensuring no pup goes thirsty after a vigorous play session.

Forgot poop bags? No worries. The park provides waste bags at the entrances, along with plenty of trash cans to dispose of them. And when you need a break from the action, there are benches dotted around the park where you can sit and watch the canine comedy show unfold.

Fun for the Whole Family

Happy Tails isn't just about the dogs - the humans get some perks too! Right next to the dog area, you'll come across a children's playground with equipment suitable for kids of various ages. This makes it a wonderful weekend destination for families who don't want to leave anyone behind - furry or otherwise.

Nature calls? There's a porta-potty restroom on-site, so you don't have to cut your park adventure short when you need a bathroom break.

Park Etiquette 101

Keep in mind that the dog park area is exclusively for people with dogs - it's not a general hangout spot. All dogs need to be properly licensed and should respond to your voice commands. After all, nobody wants to be that owner chasing their dog across the park yelling ineffectively!

And of course, do clean up after your pooch using those conveniently provided waste bags. It keeps the park pleasant for everyone who visits after you.

Finding Your Way

Happy Tails Park sits on SE Ranson Road in Lee's Summit and welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 9PM. There's a dedicated parking lot, though it can get crowded during peak times - especially on those perfect weather weekends when everyone has the same brilliant idea to visit.

So if you're looking for a place to let your dog run and play, Happy Tails Park might be worth checking out.
