After almost three years of fighting,
Kansas City's park board has
rejected Sunnyside Park at 83rd and Summit Street as a potential off-leash dog park, despite the park being favored by several dog owners as well as Mayor
Mark Funkhouser.
Kansas City has one off-leash dog park in Penn Valley Park. Five other locations are still being considered. They include:
- Englewood Park at Englewood Road and North Troost Avenue
- Tiffany Springs Park at Northwest 88th Street
- Swope Park off Gregory Boulevard and near the park department nursery
- Minor Park at Red Bridge Road and Holmes
- West Terrace Park, on the west bluff near Sixth Street
The Kansas City parks department has about $220,000 to create a new dog park. There's also a chance for new off-leash areas in neighborhood parks if all of the adjacent residents agree.
