About the Park
Details are thin on The Point Bark Park, but the basics are these: it is an off-leash area listed in Arlington, Virginia, and there is no fee to use it. Our records don't include fencing status, surface type, or posted hours, so treat a first visit as a scouting trip — keep your dog leashed until you can confirm the space is enclosed. Arlington maintains one of the denser dog-park networks in the DC region, and smaller bark parks like this one often serve a single building or block rather than the whole county. If it turns out to be tied to a residence or workplace, confirm access rules before letting your dog loose. Bring your own water and waste bags.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
The Point Bark Park 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, The Point Bark Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

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.
