In a few weeks, dogs of Wichita will have another public park to play in.
A newly constructed dog park in the eastern portion of W.B. Harrison Park, 1300 S. Webb, is expected to open to mid-June, according to Troy Houtman, director of Wichita’s Park and Recreation Department.
It will have separate areas for large dogs and small dogs, as well as shade structures, areas for open play, benches, tables and an agility course. The large hill in the northeast corner of the park — often used by neighborhood kids for sledding in wintertime — is within the dog park area.
That doesn’t mean this is end for sledding in Harrison Park, however.
“There was a concern about would people still have access when it snows,” Houtman said. “By all means. I’m not sure there will be a lot of dogs there in wintertime. When it snows really big the kids in the neighborhood, and even dogs, can sled.”
