This is a great park with a paved walkway that is about a half mile long with a lot of different stretching areas along the way with some small benches to sit on and relax.the park also has restrooms and an area for your dogs, they also have a playground with picnic tables and a volleyball field and even a basketball court. There is also a very large parking area and there is always a place to park.

Bethel Bark Park at Meckauer Park. Relatively small space, especially the little dog section. Despite having a building right there, it appears that there is no access to water. Grass is a little beat up at this time of year. Trash and bags are present though.

This dog park offers an exceptional experience, with a welcoming atmosphere for both people and dogs. It is also the cleanest dog park we have encountered.

What a beautiful park. It’s just the right size in that it’s manageable yet has a little of everything. Playground Picnic area Hiking trails Dog park Geocache (which I found) Friendly people! You can even rent an area here for hosting parties which we will definitely be doing! There’s a beautiful bench donated in honor of Mike Thomas that shows for taking in the view while resting
