Love the dog park at Osage Park. It's very clean, big, with lots of shade for hot days. Not to mention they also have a playground for the kids and a huge walking trail.

My family and I had such a wonderful time exploring all the park has to offer. The walking trails are beautifully maintained, and the scenic views around the lake were breathtaking. My child loved the open play areas and spotting wildlife, while my partner and I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and well-placed seating areas to relax. The variety of activities kept everyone entertained, from the unique nature play area to the modern pickleball courts. We even discovered the boardwalk through the wetlands, which felt like stepping into another world! The park's design truly blends recreation and nature seamlessly. Osage Park also has plenty of shaded spots, clean restrooms, and friendly staff, which made our visit even better. Whether you're looking for adventure or a peaceful retreat, this place has it all. We can’t wait to come back for another family day out!

Such a wonderful park with lots of boardwalks to look at the wetlands of the Ozarks. The park was beautiful and is very well kept. The pickleball courts do get busy rather quickly in the spring/summer, so make sure to prepare to wait for an open court! The pavilion is also a nice spot to hang out after your walk.
