Off-Leash Dog Park

Riverfront Park

The area is also home to the City's second off-leash dog park, which opened in May 2005. Parks and Recreation developed the dog park in response to public requests for additional off-leash areas in the City's park system. Dog owners can enjoy an afternoon in the shade with their favorite pooch.

Mutt Run

located at 1330 East 902 Road
Lawrence Parks and Recreation opened Mutt Run in 2001, and since then, it has been used extensively by dog owners. The park sits on property leased from the U.S. Corps of Engineers below the Clinto Lake Dam in West Lawrence.

Mutt Run is an ideal atmosphere to bond with your dog, enjoy canine interaction and let your dog run free. The park includes restrooms, a drinking fountain, water for dogs and a small parking lot. Mowed paths run through the fields and along wooded areas. Users must be responsible for their pets and obey rules and regulations posted at the site.

To access the park, take Clinton Parkway west to the Clinton Dam road, turn south on the dam road and take the first left onto 902 Road. Follow 902 Road to the first left. The 30-plus acre Off-leash Park is at the bend in the road that leads to the north side of the spillway.
