Tallgrass Creek went to the dogs on April 4. Three Lucys, a Cappy, Apple, Tiger, Hector, Bob, and many other four-legged guests of honor ran and played. Of course, there were people there too.

More than 60 people gathered together for the dedication of Rudy’s Run, the dog park at Tallgrass Creek. The dog park is in the northeast corner of the property, beside the resident gardens. And despite a chilly early April afternoon, dogs and their people joined together to celebrate its official opening.

The dog park offers a secure, fenced space for romping, a ground-level doggy drinking fountain, and a shady gazebo perfect for people who want to socialize and relax.

Wanda Williams, who lives at Tallgrass Creek, cut the ribbon. Other participants included: John Harned, executive director of Tallgrass Creek; Mark Meisenheimer, Tallgrass Creek community relations manager; Kevin Jeffries, president and CEO of the Leawood Chamber of Commerce; Kirk Young, a member of the board of directors of the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce; and vendors specializing in pet services and products.

As part of the dedication ceremony, Tallgrass Creek presented a $400 check to Wayside Waifs, a Kansas City shelter and adoption service for animals that have been abandoned or given up.
