About the Park
A 1.3-acre off-leash recreation area just west of the North Bentonville Trail, the Bentonville Bark Park anchors the dog-friendly side of Orchards Park, across from the entrance to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. That location makes it easy to fold into a full Bentonville day: art in the morning, a trail ride or walk at midday, and a dog run before heading home. The city operates it as part of the parks system, free to use, and the trail connection means many visitors arrive on foot or by bike with the dog trotting alongside. Orchards Park around it offers a lake, fountain, and open fields. For a fast-growing town, it is a well-placed piece of dog infrastructure.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Bentonville Bark Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
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.
Best of all, Bentonville Bark Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
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 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.
