About the Park
Known to regulars as "The Bark Park," McBean Dog Park serves the Placer County city of Lincoln, northeast of Sacramento. Dogs are welcome off-leash here, and entry is free since it operates as a public city park. The City of Lincoln lists it among its official dog parks, and the parks-and-recreation website is the best place to confirm current rules and hours before you go. Lincoln's inland climate runs hot in summer, so early-morning and evening visits tend to be easier on paws and coats. Fencing and surface information is not recorded here; check those details on your first trip so you know what to expect when you arrive.
