Indoor Dog Park In Shawnee

Discover Swanson Streamway Dog Park and aquatic fun at Shawnee Mission Park in Shawnee, KS. A guide to the best parks for swimming and playing.

Shawnee is a paradise for active dogs, largely due to the presence of Shawnee Mission Park.

It is a destination that draws visitors from the entire metro area. The Swanson Streamway Dog Park offers a smaller, more community-focused alternative.

Shawnee, MO

As one of the largest and most impressive dog parks in the region, the Shawnee Mission Park Dog Off-Leash Area offers an incredible 44 acres of freedom and adventure for you and your canine companion. Located within the scenic Shawnee Mission Park, this massive facility encompasses open grasslands, wooded trails, and paved paths, providing a diverse terrain that keeps walks exciting. The crown jewel of the park is arguably the dog swim area, where water-loving pups can splash and swim in the lake near the dog beach, or catch a frisbee in the dedicated aquatic zone. Whether you prefer hiking on the natural trails that wind through the woods or strolling along the paved walkways, there is ample space to explore without ever feeling crowded. This off-leash paradise is designed with convenience and safety in mind, featuring drinking water stations and portable restrooms near the parking lot. While the area is largely unfenced to preserve its natural beauty, the boundaries are clearly marked, making it ideal for dogs with good recall. The park's well-maintained grounds are a testament to the Johnson County Park & Recreation District's commitment to quality outdoor spaces. Whether you're visiting for a quick swim or a long afternoon hike, Shawnee Mission Park provides a top-tier outdoor experience that feels miles away from the city hustle. Plan your visit by checking the latest trail conditions on the [JCPRD website](https://jcprd.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Shawnee-Mission-Park-14).
