Lee's Summit is the place to be. Known for our award-winning downtown district, beautiful parks and trails, and fantastic food options, the city is just 20 minutes from Kansas City, in the heart of America.
A variety of local trails and two dog parks are in Lee’s Summit for you and your four-legged friend to enjoy. Dogwood and Happy Tails are the two dog parks that you’re sure to have a waggin’ good time at. Each location has a dog obstacle course and trail for the human to enjoy. Dogs will be dogs.
