Bark Park - Off-Leash Dog Run for Members Only

This park is dirty, old, barren, and full of gravel that is like kitty litter. Regardless, we used to come here since it’s the only dog park in White Plains. Now however, they’ve decided to charge everyone $25 per dog annually to play at this park. Despicable. White Plains, you’re living up to being the most anti-dog city in Westchester.

Excellent dog park without wood chips, so dogs won't get sick from licking the rotten chips due to the dog's urines and diarrhea. Yet, it requires annual fee of $25. Maybe this was why we didn't see a lot of dogs inside the dog park. What a pity?! City has maintained the park well. It is a great space for dogs to run around.

Not much to this place... It's basically a gravel lot over what appears to be a natural gas installation (there is a marked pipe sticking out of the ground in the middle of the active run area- small, but nonetheless not appealing). You can find the bare minimum as far as amenities- 2 concrete benches, a doggy clean up bag dispenser, a VERY unappealing garbage to put said waste into, and water fountain. It also does not have a ton of physical area compared to other local dog parks. The upsides to this park are that it is quiet- I've never seen more than 5-6 dogs there at any given time. Also, because it is a gravel surface, both you and your dog get much less dirty in inclement weather than other area parks with dirt or mulch surfaces. I primarily use this park for this reason only, saving my dog from a bath and my clothes from a cleaning after it rains. There are much better parks within 10-15 minute drives however, and I'd recommend them over this park unless it's raining/wet outside.

I call this the afterthought park. Really small, not a spec of grass. Gravel & dirt only. (Just look at all the posted photos.) No greenery for the dogs to lay down & relax. Cement benches. Ugh. And not enough space for running, playing & chasing a ball. If this is the best the city of white plains is willing to carve out for all the dog lovers who live, work & pay taxes here, they should be embarrassed by this excuse of a "dog park". BIG disappointment.

It's a nice place to bring your furry friends. Just be careful though, sometimes there's like one or two dogs there that do not want to be bothered. My dog who is just a puppy, loves to play and run around and he was growled at twice by two of these dogs. Even though people over there say they're playing I could clearly say that they weren't. So just watch what you're getting yourself into. If there are dogs there that do not want to be bothered, then stay away.
