OUR NEW PARK!
Thank you to All who donated to make this possible!!!
SMALL DOG PARK
Dogs entering the Small Dog Park must be 20 pounds or less to use this park.

The "Old" Dog Park
Our "Old" Small Dog Park will be open to the public to use if you want to come outside the hours of our new Turfed Park.
We are in the process of adding a low-cost vet clinic on our campus, up at the Adoption Center.
During this time, we will be using the old Big Dog Park to walk our residents away from the hustle & bustle, and loud sounds of the construction. So please stick to the small dog side if you aren't using the new Noah's Bark Park. Thank you!

A little history on how we got here...
We already knew that our existing park was in a place that typically flooded, so we started raising funds to turf our Dog Park. Once we engaged with the Dog Park Professionals, we learned that addressing the drainage issues was going to be even more costly than the funds we raised to turf the parks.
So, we decided to move the park across our street to the other side of our property where the terrain drains properly. We also learned from the professionals that our small dog park was too big, and the big dog park was even bigger than needed!
We hope you enjoy the newly located and turfed dog park, called Noah's Bark Park!
Bring your dogs out for play and exercise in a safe place and meet your fellow pet lovers.
Please be respectful of others and use the appropriate fenced area for your dogs at our Community Dog Park. Small dogs 20 pounds and under should use the fenced area on the left side. Large dogs over 21 pounds should use the fenced area on the right side of the park.
Please pick up after your dog!
