Central Bark January 2023

Approximately 3 acres in size, the park is surrounded by chain link fencing and separated into two play areas: one for dogs who like to socialize and play with dogs all shapes and sizes; and one for small dogs (measuring 15 inches and under at the shoulder) who aren’t comfortable playing with the larger dogs

Off-leash parks are not the correct way to socialize extremely fearful or aggressive dogs. Please email our Training Academy at [email protected] for specific behavior classes to help with these issues.
