Lawrence has a variety of wonderful recreational facilities for humans. We think our four-legged friends deserve a park of their own. That’s why we’ve created Waggin’ Tails Bark Park.
This great park has obstacle training equipment, benches and a double-bubbler water fountain that serves both humans and canines.
