Dog walking in Freeman

Foxwood Ave

Freeman only has one dog-friendly chain restaurant. Come on over to Culvers and grab the best cheese curds that you will find anywhere. Or, chow down on a classic burger and fries. On pretty days, the patio is open so that you and your dog can enjoy a burger together. Doggie diners should be leashed and well-behaved at all times here. If your dog gets aggressive around food, you might want to give this one a miss. Otherwise, grab a water dish and come on over! They will cook dog-friendly burgers (with no seasonings or veggies) if you would like. This is the perfect pit stop before heading out of town to sniff out a dog park!

North Area

Ten miles away from you in Raymore, and right down from Culvers, is Steak and Shake. This is the place for ice cream. Not only do they have amazing shakes, but they also have pup treats, too! The burgers are stacked pretty high, and are big enough to share with your dog. They have a large patio, which is the place to be on summer nights, where you and your dog can stretch out and fill your bellies. Bring a leash and get ready for a good night with your dog. They don't have dog-friendly tables inside, but they do have a window to order from.

Broadway Blvd

Penn Valley Park in Kansas City, Missouri is an epic place where you and your dog with have a barktastic good time! It has over two acres where you can let your pup off his leash so he can just be a dog for a while. Both the areas for small and large breeds have plenty of water fountains. There are also doggie waste bags at each trash can. Overall, this is a great park with lots of trees and shaded areas to sit and watch your dog play. You don't need to register to play, which makes it perfect if you are just visiting the area. This park is about thirty minutes away from Freeman.

Martha Truman

Wayside Waifs Bark Park is located in Kansas City, about half an hour or so from Freeman. The park is a good size at around five acres. You do have to pay an entrance fee of $3 per dog. The small fee is worth it, because it helps ensure the park stays stocked with everything you need, including cleaning stations and water fountains with fresh water. There is a small wading pool for your pup to cool off in as well. Don't fur-get to bring a towel! You can also bring your toys to play fetch if you don't mind sharing with the other pups at the park. Just don't bring any treats or food.

If you are looking for a barktastic adventure that holds a world of possibilities, you should consider making the hour trip right on over to Kansas City's Boulevard Drive-In Theatre. That's right -- you can bring your dog with you to catch movie or two! Bring a blanket to cuddle up on or a couple of folding chairs. Come early and go by the concession stand for hot dogs, popcorn, soft pretzels, and all your favorite movie snacks. Just bring a leash with you, because you'll have to keep your dog on a leash during the movie. What better way to make un-fur-gettable memories with Fido?
