Barnum Dog Park
Micro-pebble gravel and a reservoir loop next door
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. Skip the enclosure itself and you can also walk the scenic lake loop with your pup.
Amenities
Barnum Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers love the roomy footprint and the split between high-energy and low-energy sides. The micro-pebble surface gets specific praise from owners of post-surgery dogs who need easier footing, and the adjacent reservoir loop is a standout alternative to the enclosure itself.

Before you go
There are no benches or poop bag dispensers inside the enclosure, so bring your own bags and plan to stand. Dogs sensitive to rocky surfaces may prefer the grassy lake path nearby.
