A fenced bark park run by the City of Lawrence parks department on Indy's northeast side, accessed by registered key tag. The footprint is large with a combo dog-and-human water fountain and a few benches; on quieter days dogs may have the place to themselves.

Before you go

Register with City of Lawrence parks to get a key tag before showing up; there is no on-site signup. Skip the entrance area after heavy rain, where reviewers note the no-grass strip turns into a mud channel.
