About the Park
Louisa County Bark Park on Sacred Heart Avenue in Mineral is a fully fenced, off-leash park with three separate areas, including a dedicated small-dog section. Splitting dogs by size and giving handlers options makes for calmer, better-matched play. It sits right next to the county animal shelter, so a visit can double as a chance to meet adoptable dogs. Access is essentially all day, though pricing and exact gate hours are worth confirming with Louisa County Parks and Recreation. This is a rural stretch of central Virginia between Richmond and Charlottesville, so expect a quiet, open setting. Bring water and waste bags, since specific amenities are not detailed here. Confirm current hours locally before making the drive.
