Dogwood Play Park
Members-only dog bar with warm, dry indoor play
About this park
Dogwood is a members-based indoor-outdoor dog bar split into two play sides, one for gentle dogs and one for the more rambunctious crowd. Beyond the turf, sofas, and toy bins, it functions as a genuine community hub, with a curated roster of vaccinated, fixed dogs and owners Tara and Lex running the floor. Beverages and snacks for humans keep the adults-only room feeling more like a neighborhood tavern than a typical dog park.

Owners Tara and Lex get called out by name for running a clean, well-managed room.
Members show up multiple times a week and know each other by dog, with regulars describing Dogwood as a genuine friend-making hub rather than a drop-in park. The adults-only, pre-screened-dog format keeps the vibe calm and conversational.
Best for
Before you go
Dogwood is membership-based and requires proof of vaccination plus spay or neuter before your first visit, so plan ahead rather than showing up cold. Kids are not permitted, which regulars cite as a plus for dogs uneasy around children.
