Hills Pet Nutrition Bark Park
Hills Pet Nutrition Bark Park in Topeka is a spacious, well-lit dog park that features a large fenced grassy area with a double-gated safety entrance to help prevent escapes. The park is wheelchair accessible and offers amenities such as picnic tables and a water fountain (seasonal). It is a popular spot for dog owners, suitable for kids, and has decent parking, though it can get crowded during peak times. While the park currently lacks agility equipment, a swim area, or shaded covered shelters, it provides a friendly environment for dogs to socialize and play off-leash. Visitors are advised to bring their own water and toys like tennis balls.

My dogs loved it here, they played for hours upon hours.a bunch of lovely people, beautiful dogs and overall recommended
We brought out little dog here, she is deaf and going blind in one eye. She had a great time sniffing every where. She actually wanted to make friends with a couple of dogs. That’s unusual for her. The people at the park were very friendly and looking out for everyone’s dogs. It was a great time.
Huge dog park with nice people and dogs! Stoped here on a road trip and our dog 🐶 ran and ran. Highly recommend.
• Dbl gate safety entrance so dogs can’t escape (if ppl use correctly/have common courtesy/mindfulness towards others coming & going).
•Large grassed, fenced area w/some dirt/muddy areas.
• Great lighting
• Good (late) hours (open until 11pm)
• Nice neutral location for SN County residents
• Decent parking, but can get congested during peak hours.
• Nothing for dogs to do if no other dogs are present… like obstacle course/tunnel & ‘pools’ they used to have!
• There are tennis balls if you search grass, but typically nasty & mowed over. I advise bringing 1 each time you go if your dog likes to fetch (& plan on leaving it there).
• Water fountain (when working).
I bring bowl & water to have available as needed. (Bring water in winter season as fountain is shut off).
• No walking path/trail like other dog parks I’ve been to.
* See other info regarding dogs/park. I no longer bring my dog when others are present due to the violent/bully nature of several unwatched ‘regular’ dogs.
A cool feature another dog owner pointed out was a pet ID chip reader for anyone to use in the event there is a dog they might like to read the chi p of a lost pet. Instructikns and all.
Kinda cool.
