Thank You Bark Park

[johnb]

My wife and I have been taking our new puppy to the Bark Park on J.D. Miller Rd just north of Hwy 98. It is a wonderful facility.

Not only have my dogs had a great time socializing, running and playing with the other dogs who visit, all the owners we've encountered have been friendly, interesting and considerate.

If you haven't taken advantage of this experience, I highly recommend taking your dog there. They have a small dog area and a large dog area for those with a preference.

See you there!

Great place always in need of volunteers

I love the bark park too. It is a volunteered program. Thank you to whoever bought new chairs and toys for our pups to play with!!!

Bark Park update

Hey all,
The Bark Park Board provided the new chairs. Just to remind everyone, we are a non-profit corporation and are sustained by membership, visitor contributions and volunteer time. We love to have a place to take our dogs to play safely. More information and updates can be found at www.barkparkinc.org or questions directed to info@barkparkinc.org

I am SO excited about this! I was wondering if there was an off-leash area for dogs. Here's my baby

she is so used to running free out here in the country.

This is why this forum is a goldmine. I would have never known.

THANKS SO MUCH!

And the park is a public facility owned by the Board of County Commissioners, which have expended quite a few dollars in the past getting the thing set up and going.

They may have set the thing up, but how much maintenance are they doing now? Did they buy the new chairs and new toys? What is their ongoing expense?

Daisy loves the Bark Park...

Do pet owners do a good job of cleaning up after their pets there?

I have been absolutely appalled lately by the numbers of dogs going to the bathroom everywhere - at the beach in Grayton, along the bike path (or ON it). Nothing makes a sunset quite as special as a large dog walking into your line of sight and taking a sheet! :angry:

I wonder who isn't cleaning up = locals or vacationers? Yep, dog poop and cig. butts are a turn off big time on that white sand. What a shame.

I too hope the dog park folks clean up nicely!

At least two flagrant violators I saw were locals. :angry:
