BarkPark of Wildwood is a popular and well-loved dog park in Wildwood, Florida, known for its spacious, shaded environment and pet-friendly amenities. Offering two separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, this park is ideal for owners seeking a safe, welcoming place for their pups to play, exercise, and socialize. The park is wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for all pet lovers, and parking is conveniently available on-site.
Visitors will find ample room for dogs to roam, along with water stations (although bringing your own water is recommended), free poop bags, and waste stations for easy clean up. Benches provide limited seating under the shade of trees, making it a comfortable spot during Florida’s hot days. Free milkbones at the entrance add a friendly, memorable touch for both pets and owners. BarkPark of Wildwood stands out as a clean, well-maintained destination to spend quality time with your furry friend in the local community.
Great shaded area for you and your pup. It was pretty empty when we visited, but we visited on the 4th of July. I expected it to be empty. There are two separate areas for small and large pups. The entrance to the park itself as secure as I’d like it to be. Watch out if you have a runner the gate is secured closed via chain that wraps around a wooden pole. I’m sure any large pup can break through. Bonus free milkbones for your pup upon entrance or departure. The park was maintained pretty well. The sand to grass ratio was 2:1. Wipe your pups feet before getting back into your car. Definitely a lot of room to roam about, but not enough sitting areas.
After losing her adoptive brother 2 weeks ago, we’ve been touring dog parks in the area to try to keep Jazz occupied and make new friends. Bark Park is my favorite place for dogs so far. Of course there are going to be villagers with their designer/status- symbol dogs, but there is also a good mix of people who genuinely love animals and want the best for their rescues. Lots of space for the dogs to run, water and clean-up bags are provided, and the park is clean. A wonderful place to spend a few quality hours. 🙂
Nice open dog park. Really enjoyed it just wish everyone would clear up after their dog
I take my dog there as many times as I can. She has the best of Times there
UPDATED REVIEW: Other than the fact that this park is all sand and little grass, my little dog loves this place. We like to go when there’s not many people and dogs here so he can run and chase the squirrels who taunt the dogs. They have a secondary space for small dogs, but every time I’ve been there the big dog people have been happy to have my little man come along for the run! It’s quite large, there’s water and poop stations, as well as a bench and some tennis balls around. Please just pick up after your dogs!!
This is a really great place for Wildwood and surrounding communities to bring their dogs. It kind of sucks that there’s so much sand and not grass, but it’s Florida I guess that’s what you should expect. I like how large it is and that there is also a smaller dog fenced area. It’s a nice idea to have a watering area but it gets really nasty. I would recommend bringing your dog their own water. Overall, fun place for dogs🤗
