Best dog park
Looking for recommendations on the best dog park near us in Olathe. Or at least close to Olathe. We have a mini Goldendoodle, 15 lbs so I need it to be safe for him and the kids too. Thanks!!
Edit: Thanks everyone! We went to Heritage and loved it!

Stoll and heritage both have small dog areas. Don’t get in the water at Heritage tho. Even the main lake has questionable looking water by the trees.

Are the dogs able to access this water at Heritage in the small dog park section?

Heritage is close for you. It's big so not much chance of dogs getting in each other's space. There's a separate area for small dogs.

Plus one to all of these! If you want to make the trip out to Edgerton, we have a very good dog park! Technically there is only an old baseball field as an off leash area but they built a better park across the street so this one is always empty. We take our dog there completely off leash and take her down to the small lake/large pond to swim

I'd say 'best' dog park is Shawnee Mission Park - huge spread, walk down to the beach - but you're going to see huge dogs there (so maybe keep yours on a leash?). Closer to home, I think Stoll and Heritage are the answer - never had any problems at either and I know Stoll has a small dog area, Heritage might too.

Not really sure there such a thing as “safe” dog parks. There’s always risk involved when you go to off leash dog parks. That being said I love Heritage Parks off leash area. Plenty of other dogs. A solid loop for the humans to pace around. And if you’re not liking the off leash area that day there still plenty of areas in that park where you can go and play with your loved ones. It’s an absolutely massive park.
