About the Park
Warrensburg named its dog park after Old Drum, the hound behind a famous courtroom eulogy that this Johnson County town still celebrates as the origin of the phrase about a dog being man's best friend. The off-leash park is a fitting tribute, giving local dogs a free public place to play. Updates and photos are shared on the park's Facebook page, a good place to check before heading over. The entry here does not list fencing, surface, or hours, so confirm those on site. Warrensburg is home to the University of Central Missouri, and the park draws a steady community of dog owners. With hot, humid summers, plan for cooler hours and pack water.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Old Drum Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Old Drum Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
