Cardinal Bark Park
Brownsburg's $10-a-month members park with a hill, tunnel, and a B&O Trail connection
About this park
A purpose-built fenced bark park run by Brownsburg Parks and Rec, split into separate large and small-dog yards with sally-port double gates, water fountains, and a small play hill and tunnel. The park sits right off the B&O Trail, so members often walk over from the neighborhood instead of driving.
Amenities
What visitors say
Synthesized from 95 Google reviewsReviewers praise the cleanliness, separated size yards, and the sally-port gates that keep door-darters from escaping during entries and exits. The fact that small-dog owners get a real fenced yard, not an afterthought, gets called out often.
Quiet most of the day, friendly regulars who know each other's dogs. Reviews note no fights or aggressive incidents across years of visits.

Before you go
Membership runs about $10 a month through Brownsburg Parks and Rec; pick up the access fob from their office before your first visit. Drainage is solid after rain since the park was built recently with that in mind.
