About the Park
Part of Bethel Park on Bethel Road in Morganton, Bethel Bark Park is a fully fenced, grass-surface dog park in the foothills of western North Carolina. Small and large dogs are kept in separate fenced sections, letting mismatched sizes play at their own pace. The grass underfoot is easier on paws than gravel and gives the space an open, natural feel typical of the Burke County parks around here. Beyond the separate runs, amenities are modest in our records, so plan accordingly. Posted hours are not listed here, and the pricing model is unconfirmed, so check the park entrance for signage on both before your first visit. As with any grass field, expect it to soften after rain, which this mountain region gets throughout the year.
