K-9 Rooster Dog Park

Best dog park in Wichita. There are 3 sections in rotation small dogs, large dogs, and the 3rd section is left to re-grow with bo dogs allowed. These pics were taken inside the small dog area.

Love this park now that they remodeled it. Everyone I've ran into is super nice and respectful. Make sure to take a jug of water from oct-april in case the water is off for the winter!

We are from out of town and the temps have been in the teens. Today it finally warmed up the 50, so we brought the hound to the park. He was in heaven. It is a very large space and he was able to run and run. Had to get the energy out before our ride back home. I didn’t think to take photos, but the ones already in the search a very accurate. Way to go K-9 Rooster Dog Park!

This is an excellent dog park, just remember to pick up behind your pooch. A lot of people not minding signs for dog sizes, namely little dogs in big dog area and vice versa. My big dog is not socialized yet, but out of consideration for others, I make him wear a muzzle (friendly - but just in case). Just be conscious and considerate of others, and that makes or breaks a day that should be a fun outing for both you and your pet.

On behalf of Spot. I believe Spot enjoys coming to Meridan Dog Park. He never turns the opportunity to play with other dogs down. Always filled with excitement, leaves very satisfied and exhausted. A big plus. There are 3 fields, two of which remain open while the third stays in rotation (Small breeds weighing below 25lbs are in one, while large breeds 25lbs and above are in the other.) The fields are gated and each have their own drinking station (a dog bowl and two water fountains for adults and children.) There is a gated shower station in the middle accessible from the middle, right and front of the dog park. *During the Winter, the water is turned off.* The shade is limited to the trees surrounding the edges of the dog park, 3 benches to sit from in all gated fields. Each field has it's own gated enclosures to allow you to unleash your dog before getting into the field. There are potty bag receptacles at each entrance as well as three trash bins. The unfortunate thing is they are only at the entrances so it's best to grab a few to be prepared when your dog does the deed. Busy times are mornings between 6-12 and evenings 5-9, typically during the week. Weekends can differ. Weather/Temperature greatly impacts these time frames. I'm usually part of the morning crew. Dog owners are friendly like their counterpart 4 legged bestfriends. I'm usually having a conversation with one of them or a group of them. Dogs seem to enjoy themselves or when the crowd is light dog owners attend to their buddies. Great people to meet and chat with. The upkeep at this park is prettt good. They mow it, empty the trash, clean up around the place. Parking is limited to about 10 regular spots and two handicap. **The following may be an issue if your dog likes to get dirty, but with proper supervision, you can limit the possibility of your dog getting dirty.** The downside to this Dog Park is, there are a couple muddy areas in each field. The left field has two large muddy areas, by the drinking fountain and under the trees in the far left backside of the field. Two smaller muddy areas in the underside and behind the benches halfway on the sides of the left field. The middle field has one large muddy area by the drinking fountain. One small patch halfway towards the right side and two under and behind the benches. The right field has one large muddy area around the bench on the left side of the right field. This is the optimal preferred field by most dog owners. All in all, I believe Spot rates the Meridan Dog Park 4 out of 4 paws with a spontaneous wagging of his tail. *Nitpicking* There could be more shade(awnings or covered benches), more potty bag receptacles and trash bins throughout the Dog Park so it's not a long walk to the front of the Dog Park. More parking surrounding the fields. The muddy areas (by the drinking stations) to be covered more permanently than temporarily. Last words, Spot & I, look forward to our next visit. Wonderful people and adorable dogs. 👍
