🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions

Bark Park is a well-visited and pet-friendly dog park in Columbus, Mississippi, conveniently located at 301 N 3rd St, near the local soccer and football fields. This public park is loved by locals and visitors alike for its ample space, separate areas for large and small dogs, and welcoming atmosphere, making it a standout option for dog owners seeking a fun and social environment for their furry friends. With wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, Bark Park ensures everyone can join in the fun.
The park offers a wooded setting with plenty of natural shade, providing relief during warm Mississippi days. You’ll find potty stations around the fence, water fountains for your pet, and seating for owners. While the park is generally well-maintained, some visitors have noted that waste pickup can be an issue and to use insect repellent due to seasonal mosquitoes. Bark Park is a great spot for letting your dog run off-leash, socialize with other dogs, and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you’re a resident or just visiting Columbus, this dog park is a canine favorite!
My dogs love the Bark Park & so do I, although as a human I wear a mask because of the pee smell and a ton of insect repellent because there’s a lot of mosquitoes. I’ve been to dog parks all over the USA and this one is really nice sized, public, and well maintained.
To be clear, I went to the dog park near the back of the soccer complex directly in front of the small football field. It’s wooded with a small little parking spot in front. DO NOT COME HERE. The small dog park had an insane amount of glass and trash. Most of the glass could be easily swallowed and it had been there for some time. The large dog park seems alright, but why bother when it’s clear that no one is cleaning or checking these parks. Really embarrassing for whoever maintains this park. The gates aren’t built correctly either, so only one door closes properly.
Visiting my daughter here in Columbus. She’s living here while in school at The W and playing ball. Our first visit here was great! We took her dog Axle for the first time today and met several people while Axle made new friends! Hope to make it back again soon 😃👍
Had to check out the dog park while we were in town.. There were 2 seperate areas for large and mall dogs. Nice area snd lots of room to run and play. Was nice there was a water fountain for our pup.
Lots of room but people don’t pick up after their pets even though there are lots of potty stations around the fence.
