About the Park
Springhouse BarkPark gives Newport News dog owners a free, off-leash place to let their dogs run. It sits in the 23602 area of this Peninsula city, part of Virginia's Hampton Roads region where mild coastal weather keeps outdoor play comfortable through much of the year. As a public park, there is no admission fee. Fencing details and on-site amenities are not confirmed in our records, so it is worth calling ahead or checking with Newport News Parks and Recreation before you rely on a fully enclosed run. Bring your own water and waste bags to be safe. If you visit regularly, the local off-leash community is your best source for current conditions and posted rules.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Springhouse BarkPark 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, Springhouse BarkPark is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
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.
