About the Park
Owners in the High View area of Sullivan County, New York can bring their dogs to Central Bark, an off-leash park in the Catskills foothills region. Access is free, since it operates as a public dog park with no admission charge. This part of the lower Catskills is rural and wooded, with four distinct seasons and snowy winters, so conditions underfoot shift through the year. The park gives dogs a place to move off-leash away from the region's roads and trails. Fencing status, surface type, and posted hours are not confirmed in our records, so check the gates and any signage on site to see whether the area is enclosed and what hours apply. Bring water and cleanup bags, as amenities here are not documented.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Central Bark 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.
Best of all, Central Bark is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
