Miss Peggy's Bark Park
A spacious Brentwood hideaway tucked past a tree-canopied trail
About this park
Miss Peggy's Bark Park (formerly Barkwood) in Brentwood is a spacious, fenced off-leash park with separate sections for large and small dogs and a set of agility obstacles. The biggest challenge is finding it: the park is tucked behind the Brentwood Library and requires parking in the rec center lot and walking through a tunnel and across a field to reach the entrance. Multiple reviewers warn to follow the posted signs carefully or you will miss it.

The split big-dog and small-dog sections and on-site dog water both earn repeat mentions.
