Basic Etiquette, Guidelines and Tips
- The Barkyard is closed the second Wednesday of each month from 7 a.m. – 12 p.m. for routine maintenance.
- 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.
- To ensure everyone enjoys this dog park to the fullest please check out the Barkyard Rules here.
