Barnum Dog Park

About this park

Barnum Dog Park sits alongside a reservoir and offers a large open space divided into separate high-energy and low-energy sections. The surface is micro-pebble gravel throughout, which helps post-op dogs with paw traction but can bother some dogs who prefer softer ground. The scenic lake loop beyond the enclosure is worth the detour on its own.

Frequently asked

What is the surface?

Small pebbles throughout, with no grass. Owners of post-surgical dogs credit the give it offers a healing leg, while others report stones lodging in paws and dogs that would rather walk elsewhere.

Is there a separate area for small dogs?

The split runs by energy rather than size, with a high-energy side and a low-energy side. Reviewers rate the arrangement useful for keeping mismatched playstyles apart.

Is there shade or seating?

Neither. No trees stand inside the enclosure and reviewers report no tables or benches, so the whole space sits in direct sun.

Are poop bags provided?

Not dependably. Visitors have arrived to find none at all, so bring a supply.

Is Barnum Dog Park worth the trip on its own?

For distance, yes, the run is large and open. Owners whose dogs dislike rock skip the enclosure entirely and walk the reservoir loop and green space next door.
