About the Park
Central Bark on SE Juniper Avenue in Dallas serves the mid-Willamette Valley west of Salem with a fully fenced dog park and separate small and large dog areas. A double-gated entry, wash station, picnic area, seating, water access, and waste bags make it well-equipped for a longer visit. The enclosure lets dogs play off-leash within a secure perimeter. It is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM; pricing is not confirmed in our records, so check the City of Dallas parks page in case any use rules apply. Valley rains can leave the ground soft in winter, and the on-site wash station is handy for cleaning muddy paws afterward. Bring water in summer. The size separation suits owners of smaller or more cautious dogs.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Central Bark 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.
Central Bark operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
