About the Park
Lafreniere Bark Park is a 5-acre off-leash dog park within Lafreniere Park, featuring separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, agility equipment, and a dog washing station. It offers shaded paths, water fountains or tubs, pet waste stations, and benches for owners. The park includes fun doggie sculptures and a walking path around the large dog area.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Lafreniere 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.
Best of all, Dog Park at Lafreniere 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.

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
