Smock Bark Park
Indy Parks' south-side fob park, big open footprint and rarely crowded
About this park
A large fenced bark park on the south county line, run by Indy Parks and accessed by scan card. The footprint is the main draw: a wide open space that almost never gets crowded, with water bowls and waste bag stations.

The scan-card pass takes some legwork to obtain (Indy Parks office, vaccine records); travelers without one will be turned away at the gate. The 3.7 rating mostly reflects out-of-towners who didn't realize the access setup, not the park itself.
