About the Park
Barkside is a dog park and bar featuring monitored indoor and outdoor play yards where dogs and humans can socialize together. The facility includes 5,000 square feet of indoor space and outdoor areas with a heated patio, allowing year-round play. Humans can enjoy beverages including beer, wine, cocktails, and mocktails while dogs play off-leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Barkside 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.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Barkside operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
