Bark Park

About the Park

Dogs run off-leash at this free public park in Hollister, the San Benito County seat set among farmland and rolling hills south of the Bay Area. Without posted fencing details, treat it as a place to confirm the enclosure yourself before letting a dog loose, especially if your dog's recall is still a work in progress. There is no admission charge, and it works as a neighborhood gathering point for local owners. Hollister's inland summers get hot and dry, so morning and evening visits are easier on paws and coats than midday. Amenities beyond the off-leash allowance are not listed, so bring your own water and waste bags. Check on-site signage for hours and any rules specific to the park.
