Hills Pet Nutrition Bark Park — Attraction in Topeka

• 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.

There are intact dogs trying to hump everything in sight. There are owners who literally sit and watch their dogs fight and do nothing or even seem to care. Those are the nice ones, others get confrontational. One owner literally held his pitbull on it's back legs choking him to behave, it's a dangerous bark park.....PLEASE PLEASE avoid this park like the plague. I rarely leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this disaster of a dog park. Enter at...

I'm updating this review (previously a 4 star), leaving it at 1 star because it is located close to my house. However, every single time I've brought my dog there other owners pay no attention to their dogs and their dogs are aggressive and have tried attacking my dog or have even bit my dog. Dog owners are also bringing in puppies that haven't had vaccines yet and letting them run around which is dangerous! Pay attention to your dogs don't just sit on your phone the whole time and get mad when other dog owners tell you to control...
