55Great, quiet cozy spot for a dog to play. Appreciated the water and crate full of toys
55Taylor LOVES this space!
55Cora’s absolute favorite SniffSpot! She always has a blast and leaves happy and tired.
55And the birds are hopping around the water bowl today. So sweet.
55Good times! Tess is so content just sitting still, unharnessed, in nature.
55Great Sniffspot! Toys are available, grass is in great condition, parking was easy, and there were chairs. Owner is also really helpful and kind, too!
55Our go-to place in the city, quiet and no dogs next door. Maureen and Dan came out to say high to my pup Cora and she was so thrilled at all the attention! She left very happy and tired 😁
55Beautiful yard with very kind hosts!
55Maureen was kind as I came on a very rainy day, she provided me towels and a dry chair and even did a lookout to see if other dogs were coming (my guy is reactive). I can’t wait to come back on a sunny day!
55Our dog had a great time! The host was very thoughtful and kind.

Description

Enjoyed by our dogs for 15 years, our yard is a good size for zoomies, grass naps, and squirrel & bird watching. We have a table with comfy chairs and a kiddie pool. A crate of our guardian angel’s toys await your pooch. The neighbors on each side are dog free. You can spend time without a barking contest ensuing.

Cleanliness

98% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Extras

Bluetooth Speaker$0

Ask for the speaker if you want to listen to some tunes. Classical and swing/jazz are Maureen's go-to's for yard time.

Dog pool in Spring & Summer$0

A kiddie pool is available for dogs that like water or want a HUGE water bowl. Let us know and we'll have it on the patio.

Notice: We are closing the spot on May 23rd for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Beginning May of 2024, we will post pictures daily to our Instagram account showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. Future additions: We hope to add more amenities over time. Our plans are to add more sand to the sandbox in late April or early May of 2024. We’re also hoping to have on-site parking around mid summer of 2024. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
