Central Bark Dog Park

My Littles enjoy the park unless they are relentlessly being humped. That alone makes it difficult to have a good time. Owners rarely clean up their dog poop so watch your step! Some dogs are not treated for fleas so make sure you treat your dog before visiting. Other than that it's a good park.

My dog has been wanting to play with other dogs for tge longest. He finally got his chance. He had so much fun.

It's a really nice park for both large and small dogs. I appreciate that they have several water sources for the dogs to drink from or get cleaned. There are park benches to sit and relax while your dogs play. My complaint is that on the little dog side, the walking path is cut off half way, so you can't walk around with your dog like you can on the large dog side. Also, the closing hours were changed from 8:30PM to 7:30PM. I really wish it was open later, especially during the summer months. I love spending the evening here.

I wasn’t expecting to like this park but the dogs love it. I have one that likes running on grass and one that prefers walks. Since there is a paved portion, the one who likes walks basically walked herself. Very pretty and well maintained.

Space/amenities: - There are individual spaces for small dogs (25 pounds and under) and large dogs (over 25 pounds) - water pumps that work (finally!) in both areas and in the "lobby" area - a path around the perimeter on each side - plenty of benches to sit on - a covered bench area on the larger dog side - poop bags available - no interactive dog elements (tunnels, platforms, etc) , just ground/dirt/grass and trees - pretty large open spaces for each dog size Ambiance: - this is clearly a community park! That's a plus for me - many people clearly come regularly and know dogs and owners by name There are normal dog park drawbacks just like there are with kids at a playground. Occasionally some dogs don't get along or some dogs are way more excited than others to be there. Sometimes an owner isn't super responsible. Petty dog park politics and gossip make the rounds 😅 I've personally never had an issue when I've taken my dog; we go, we enjoy the space, we make friends and chat people up, and we don't partake in gossip. We typically stay 30-60 min. Most people seem to stay 15-60 min. I love that this place is just minutes from me and my dog gets excited every time we pull in.
