Socialization is an incredibly important thing for a dog to engage in and Cedar Bark Park does an incredible job at making that as easy as possible. From the moment you pull into the park you can tell a lot of care went into its design. There is ample parking and a lot of dogs there so your dog will surely meet a new friend. Also, there was a mobile dog groomer there taking anyone who was interested in their services.There’s no fee to enter and there are three main areas: small dog, big dog, and an open area with a water fountain that creates a mini lake. Since our dog is smaller we opted to go into the small dog area first. The small dog area is very nice with benches, trees, and little activities strewn throughout. There’s a drinking area for your dog as well in case it starts to get tired. We spent about 5 minutes there before deciding to go into the bigger area with the fountain as that’s where all the other dogs were. When we entered the large open area the first thing we noticed was how secure everything is. Whoever made this area was very aware of dog safety and at no point were we uncomfortable with ours in there. The dogs here were well behaved and extremely friendly. Many of the owners were socializing together as their dogs ran around and chased one another. The fountain provided many dogs with refreshment on what was a very hot Saturday morning and I’m sure that’s why this place is so popular. It really is a beautiful park and it feels great to see your dog having so much fun, we highly recommend it to anyone in the area who wants to do a dog friendly activity.
