About the Park
Bay County Central Bark Park is a large, fenced-in dog park located on the Bay County Fairgrounds in Bay City, Michigan. It features separate areas for small and large dogs with agility equipment including jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and a teeter-totter. The park is the only public place in Bay County where dogs can legally be off-leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Bay County Central 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.
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.
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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Bay County Central Bark Park operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
