Dog walking in Andale

North Wichita

Wichita is about 25 miles from Andale, but it does have alot to offer you and your pup. Murfin Animal Care Campus is just the right place to let your dog off his leash and let him chase a ball for a while. There is plenty of open room to run and romp, as well as plenty of doggie waste bags at the cleaning stations. Water fountains are also open when the weather is warm, but closed in the winter months to prevent frozen pipes. The main complaint is that there just isn't enough shade, but other than that, this is a great place to spend a few hours! The park is free to use, but the park does accept donations, which contribute to the park's upkeep and benefits the Kansas Humane Society.

Chilsom Creek Pet Resort Pet Park is an upscale dog park where you can take advantage of many different opportunities. Located in Wichita, about half an hour from Andale, it's ideally situated for you to stop in and play while you are out and about. There's always a cleaning staff on duty to ensure this park is kept nice and tidy. Everyone is encouraged to interact with the dogs, and there is always someone to throw a ball or play to play tug-of-war -- which is just pawfect if you have multiple dogs who love being the center of attention! There is a fee to play here, but you can get a day pass with no fee if you are just visiting. This is not a doggie day care, and pet owners must stay with their pets at all times.

Chapin Dog Park is not like other dog parks. Yes, there are two pens where you can let your dog off their leash to play. However, there are also trails where you can walk your dog on-leash for a while. There are trash cans along the trails so that you can dispose of your doggie waste bags along the way. Water fountains are located within the fences. The park doesn't forbid toys, but there's a reminder posted that you must be willing to share. Please do not bring any treats or food with you. Locals note that the park can get messy in bad weather, so plan accordingly if visiting in winter. Visitors have also spotted unique wildlife here, including bald eagles, so keep your eyes peeled as you play!

Meridian Dog Park in Wichita, about half an hour from Andale, is a barktastic option for you to play with your dog as well.

Tyler Road

Pawnee Prairie Park is another great park in Wichita. This is a leash-only park, but there are over 600 acres that you can explore with your dog. There's also a five-mile loop trail which is very pawpular with local dog owners -- you'll often see residents walking their pups here. Who knows? Fido just might sniff out a new friend or two on your walk! You will want to bring your own water because there are few fountains along the marked trail and none on the shorter ones. Of course, you will need to bring doggie waste bags and make sure that you clean up after your dogs.
