55Super cute yard and very spacious.
55Beautiful yard and generous offerings of toys, treats, and easy water access.
55Great yard to sniff around! Lots of nooks and crannies to explore and keep your pup's nose busy. The hosts are great, this is the second time I've taken my dog here. They always leave out some toys, treats, a water bowl and doggie bags. Love coming here!
55My dog loved it and they were so accommodating! Everything we could need was available. Will be coming back!
55Tidy and spacious. Definitely a good spot to let your pup run around!
55Big yard for lots of playtime, host left treats and toys too which were appreciated by our pup. Will be visiting again.
55Amazing space!!!! Hose was so handy on a warm day :-)
55Great spot! Our dog loved it.
55My dog loved it! Beautiful yard!

Joined in July 2026

Our family has cared for this yard for many years, and it has always been a place where our own dogs could run, play, and make memories. After saying goodbye to our last pup in June 2026, we decided to share this special space with other dogs and their families.

Key Features & Amenities: Fully Enclosed & Secure: High wood privacy fencing surrounds the entire space, giving you peace of mind while your dog plays off-leash. Covered Guest Seating: Relax comfortably under the pergola on our raised back deck! Outfitted with outdoor seating, string lights, and full overhead coverage, it’s a great spot to catch some shade on warm days or stay dry if it rains.

Enjoyed by our dogs for 15 years, our yard is a good size for zoomies, grass naps, and squirrel & bird watching. We have a table with comfy chairs and a kiddie pool. A crate of our guardian angel’s toys await your pooch. The neighbors on each side are dog free. You can spend time without a barking contest ensuing.

BarkPark

Fully Fenced
0.08 acres

Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Check out our Instagram account for daily pictures showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
