Basic Etiquette, Guidelines and Tips

  • Keep walking or playing- this helps keep the off-leash area “neutral” territory for all.
  • Keep your dog on leash until you enter the off-leash areas, and carry a leash on you for each dog at all times while in the park.
  • Be aware that dogs have different play styles. Talk to your veterinarian, talk to other park users and educate yourself on dog behavior.
  • Ensure each gate closes behind you before you enter the next one. 
  • Do not bring a dog with a known history of biting or fighting.
  • You must have an annual membership or day pass to use the Barkyard. Buy Your Dog Park Pass online or at the Park’s Guest Services.
