About the Park
Behind the Community Center on Community Center Drive, Surf City Bark Park serves this Topsail Island beach town in coastal southeastern North Carolina. The fully fenced park separates small dogs and large dogs into their own areas, so play stays matched by size. Water stations keep dogs hydrated in the coastal heat, and a waste-bag station handles cleanup. Its spot next to the community center makes it easy to find and folds neatly into a day around town. Surface and hours were not recorded, so check posted signage when you arrive. For island visitors whose beach access with dogs is limited in-season, a fenced off-leash park like this is a welcome alternative.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Surf City Bark 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.
Surf City Bark Park operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
