About the Park
Penn Valley Park sits just south of downtown Kansas City, and the off-leash dog park inside it belongs to the official KC Parks system, free to use like the city's other public parks. Details on the run itself are thin in our records: fencing, hours, surface, and water are undocumented, so check kcparks.org or the posted signs before a first visit, especially with a dog that bolts when given the chance. The location is the practical draw, within a short drive of downtown, Union Station, and midtown neighborhoods. Kansas City summers turn hot and humid by July, so aim for mornings, and expect typical Midwest mud after spring rain in any unpaved stretches.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
