Barkyard Dog Park
Compact fenced park steps from the Boxyard food scene
About this park
Barkyard sits adjacent to the Boxyard shipping-container complex in Research Triangle Park, making it the rare dog park where a post-run meal is a short walk away. The fenced area splits into separate large- and small-dog runs with agility obstacles and shaded benches. Surface is bare dirt, which turns muddy after rain.

Skip it the day after rain; the dirt surface stays muddy longer than you'd expect. Visit on weekdays if you want company, as weekend crowds are thin.
