Facilities

Hill's Bark Park is located at the southeast corner of Gage Park (10th and Gage) and was founded to provide a spacious, secure area for dogs to run and play leash free. A major gift from Hill's Pet Nutrition has enabled Shawnee County Parks + Recreation to double the size of the bark park, add new lighting, irrigation to improve the turf, shade structures and other amenities. The improvements are expected to be completed in the spring of 2022.

The park is open to the public from 6am-11pm.  Park features include:

•   Open-air shelter
