A great feature of the Kiwanis Park neighborhood is the Dog Town Playground at Kiwanis Park. The 1-acre park offers a fenced area for both large and small pups in addition to a variety of amenities. Your pooch can explore the dog tunnel, sniff around the fire hydrant, and get a cool drink at the doggie water fountain. Pup parents will enjoy the picnic tables where you can chat with other dog lovers, and the park provides clean up bags to make sure the area stays clean. Set up a playdate and head to the dog park with some of Fido’s friends on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Osage Park

You and your pup can wander through the bottom head forest and admire the Cape LaCroix Creek that winds along the trail. There are restrooms available where you can refill your water bottles. If you are hungry after your walk, stop by Ciao Ristorante and Enoteca where you can try some traditional Italian dishes and relax at one of the outdoor tables. If you and Fido are craving a burger, check out Beef “O” Brady’s, where you can get a cold drink, Angus burger, and Funnel Fries while spending time with your pup on the patio.
