About the Park
Along the Missouri River in Riverside, a small Platte County city in the Kansas City metro, E. H. Young Riverfront Park includes a dedicated small-dog off-leash area. Separating smaller breeds from larger dogs makes for calmer, safer play. The space is free to use as part of a public riverfront park. Fencing, surface, and hours are not listed here, so check the on-site signs and gates before letting your dog loose. The riverfront is open and can be warm during humid Missouri summers, so bring water on hot days. Riverside's park sits within a larger recreation area with trails, making it easy to combine small-dog off-leash time with a walk near the river.
