Osage Park
Wetlands boardwalks ringing one of the area's best dog parks
About this park
A wetlands park with paved walking paths, boardwalks, and a partitioned fenced dog park inside the same grounds. Wildlife sightings (eagles, beavers, herons) are part of the appeal on the trail loops. Pickleball courts, food trucks, and a fishing lake round out a true multi-use destination, with the dog park getting consistently high marks separately.

Before you go
The trail loops don't fully circle the lake, so plan for an out-and-back if you want a longer walk. Food trucks operate Wednesday through Sunday near the main lot.
