Barkland Avenue Dog Park

Carolina Mora 4 months ago

Finally got the pass for the dog park. We have a big grassy yard but with the new pup she digs and eats dirt so pebble/rock turf is great in my opinion. They have agility equipment for use, very cute. The city charges $30 for the annual pass if anyone was wondering. The only complaint would be it isn’t always clean. You can’t throw a ball just anywhere because you’re worried about where you/the dog step. The park itself offers bags and pooper scoopers but the owners don’t use them *some people ruin things for others*. Not sure how it’s regulated but that would be great if fixed. Thanks Bark!

They changed the grass into these little pebbles which damaged my dogs paw. He was crying all the way home. I had to put him in the shower and rinse the salt off of his paws as well and little pebbles were still stuck in his paws to who made the decision to put these pebbles. I would be in shock if you owned a dog.

Resident AND park pass required. Given the threats of fine, I was unwilling to go into this park and had to take pictures over the fence while the dog waited in the car. Large open space covered in peastone. No shade at all. I dislike controlled, paid access to dog parks. I think they should be open and free use. Rules are necessary, but limiting access hurts the pups who need it.

There are 2 huge fenced in parks attached which is great . If a small dog owner isn't ready to introduce thier small dogs to the large dog enclosure the 2 are connected so the dogs can still see each other and play but thru a fence. Cute benches with paw prints. One doggie water fountain does work in the small dog enclosure so you don't even have to pack water which is convenient. Lots of birds and greenery and woods surrounding it making it a good place to relax. Any one with dogs and no back yard or apt living really should come take advantage of this so the pups can run free it's fun to see the dialogue n different dog personalities . This dog park is monitored and clear on the no children under 10 rule signs up about certain rules.

I love this dog park. The people and the animals that go there are really nice and friendly. There is a separate area for small dogs under 30 lbs and they even have a small dog costume party in October with food and prizes. You do need to buy and annual pass to use it that you can get for $25 at Lynn city hall. This would be 5 stars, but the pipe to the water for the dogs broke last year and the city still hasn't fixed it so bring some H2O to keep your pup cool.
