About the Park
Newtown Park & Bark is a spacious, fully fenced off-leash dog park on over two acres with separate areas for small and large dogs. It features a large grassy play space, seasonal water fountains, a water-spray feature for warmer months, agility equipment, benches, and waste stations. The park is well-maintained and overlooks a wooded area, fostering a friendly community atmosphere.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Park and 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.
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.
Park and Bark operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
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.

Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
