Bar K Dog Bar
Bar K Dog Bar is the ultimate stop for dogs and dog lovers in Kansas City. Bar K is a fully staffed dog park with a bar and grill, as well as an event space. You can visit the space as either a Guest or as a Member, and kids are welcomed as well as dogs. Along with the expansive outdoor dog park, there is an indoor off-leash play area and a separate dog park for smaller dogs. There are supervisors throughout the off-leash areas watching all of the dogs, allowing you to head inside and grab some food & drink or catch up on the score of the game.
Bark At The Park
If you love the Royals as much as you love your canine companion, then the Bark At The Park nights are the perfect event to bring your dog along with you. Bark at the Park are special nights at Kauffman Stadium where you get to bring your dog to the game. Each night is also benefiting a local animal shelter or non-profit organization, so you can help out organizations that are helping dogs in need around the Greater Kansas City area. For more information and pricing, you can visit the Bark At The Park website.
