🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions
If you’ve spent time at an off-leash park, you’ve probably seen it:A parent strolls in with a stroller 🚼 or […]
Old Drum Dog Park, located at 1001 W Gay St in Warrensburg, MO, is a popular dog park offering a welcoming environment for pet owners and their furry friends. This pet-friendly destination features wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. The park includes multiple fenced areas, providing a safe space where dogs can exercise off-leash and interact with others.
The park is known for its large open play area with convenient amenities like public restrooms. While there’s plenty of space for dogs to run, reviews note the ground is primarily dirt and rocks rather than grass. Families with children may also appreciate the nearby playground. Old Drum Dog Park is ideal for Warrensburg locals or visitors looking for a dog-friendly outing, with accessibility features for both kids and adults.
The park has little to no grass, so my dog overheated quickly. There is no drainage for the water, so the dogs like to lay in the water. Bring towels.
Nice spot to take your furbabies, they have a couple different fenced areas In case you’re worried about safety and friendliness
Large area for dogs to play and lots of folks bring dogs. It’d be nice if the city maintained it better. Lots of sharp rocks. My dog tore his footpads running around.
EDIT 5/4/2025 : I later saw they have a sign posted that says “owner must make decision whether the play surface is appropriate for their pets paws.”
May be me, but all a sign like that suggests is the owner is aware the issue exists and has no intention of fixing the issue. That, and they want to cover themselves legally, as they push liability onto the owners. A dog park named after Old Drum should probably be doing better. Hopefully they will.
It’s sad that the people that use this dog park do not clean up after their pet. Whether it’s because no one else is there, they can get away with it or because they see no one else cleans up after their dogs! Also, if your dog is aggressive, and you know it, do not bring your dog. If they are aggressive about their toys, don’t bring any toys. If your dog doesn’t like males or females, don’t bring your dog!
Im new in Warrensburg. Was looking for a park to go with my children. The name confused me…lol. However, there was one picture of the playground that I liked. So we went there…
I don’t know how the dog part of the park looks like, but we did enjoy the playground.
Very good playground.
