Afterwards, we drove in search of Happy Tails Park, also an off-leash dog park with agility course, but we didn't have directions – and later realized we were in an entirely wrong part of town –, so we headed home in search of an afternoon nap.

Tour of Parks
We had an ambitious plan to visit five parks – with kids' play structure – we'd never been to before here in Lees Summit. But the heat brought us up short at two.
The first and closest to our house was the Charles David Hartman Memorial Park. It's home to the adult softball league, so well-tended and probably very busy on game days. But of a sweltering hot Saturday, it was just us and another group BBQing. All I can say is thank goodness for the partial shading near the play structure.
The second, Williams-Grant Park, was near downtown LS. At that time of day, there was excellent shade at the swings, and a very fun looking but hot-to-the-touch pirate ship play structure. At this point, we decided to break for lunch at the Filling Station: excellent BBQ (and air conditioning).
