The Bark Park

My dog loves going to The Bark Park, it’s his version of heaven! Meg and her employees are great with the dogs, always keeping a watchful eye while letting them play. It’s basically like having your dog be at a dog park all day without you needing to be there. I like that the park is open every day of the week and I appreciate the long hours during summer and wish they kept them long in the fall/​winter but it’s understandable that they shorten them due to the sun going down earlier. You can bring your dog in the day of but they much prefer it if you reserve a spot at least a day in advance.
I think it’s slightly cheaper than Camp Fido and it seems more laid back and fun for the dogs. They do full days and half days and package deals. You can also pay to be there and play with your dog as if it was a normal dog park.
They really helped me out one week with their concierge service, picking up and dropping my dog off for a reasonable price.
My puppy has SO much energy and going to the Bark Park helps to waste his energy and get some healthy socialization in. They even give you a «report card» at the end of the day which is really cute.

My puppy is a solid 8 months old and is the light of my life, but that light get’s pretty exhausting at times while I’m trying to work from home! Often, I feel bad because 2 walks a day just doesn’t cut it for my high energy dog and he’ll stare sadly out the window for hours. Luckily The Bark Park is nearby and seems to be the best option nearby for my pup!
Usually, I’ll take my dog here 1 – 2 times a week for a half day. Their half day price is $ 12 a is a few dollars cheaper than most doggie daycares. And, oh boy, is that half day worth every penny. I can hardly contain my dog’s excitement as we pull up to the park– he once tried to jump out of the window as soon as we pulled in! There’s usually a full house and it can be a bit overwhelming for me, but my dog loves it! The best part is that when I come to pick him up he’s super tired and ready for a night of rest. All that running keeps him in great shape, too!
The actual indoor portion of the daycare is fairly small, but the dogs always have an indoor/​outdoor option and the outdoor running area is huge! All fenced in and some areas are isolated for shy or anxiety stricken dogs. My dog has never had any issues with other dogs there.
A bonus is their drop-​off service. I was out of town one day and my dogs other guardian wouldn’t be getting off work until a few minutes after Bark Park’s closing time… For a few dollars more, a BP employee conveniently dropped our dog off right at our door!
Thanks for being awesome Bark Park.
