About the Park
The Bark Park is an off-leash, fenced dog park located inside Shepard State Park in Gautier, MS. It is best suited for small and medium-sized dogs, featuring wooden run ramps and a covered picnic table for shade. Waste bags and trash cans are provided for convenience.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Bark Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Bark Park operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
