Good to know

  • Some county materials list 16000 Pflumm Road; JCPRD's directory uses 16050 Pflumm Road, Olathe, KS 66062
  • The off-leash parking lot, restrooms, and fountains sit near South Black Bob Road and West 161st Street
  • JCPRD does not publish a dog-swim approved or closed status for the small pond; treat swimming as a look-before-you-leap decision after rain or if the water looks like scum or paint
  • The parent park's 40-acre lake is for leashed fishing and boating, not the dog pond
  • The Heritage off-leash restroom is one of the few JCPRD restrooms listed as remaining open in winter
