We want all pets in our parks to be BARK rangers! Pets are welcome to come explore nature with their humans, we ask that you stick to a few simple principals to help everyone have a safe and happy time.
Be a BARK Ranger
We want all pets in our parks to be BARK rangers! Pets are welcome to come explore nature with their humans, we ask that you stick to a few simple principals to help everyone have a safe and happy time.
Learn the BARK principles so you and your pet can have a safe and fun visit anytime you visit our parks. BARK stands for:
Bag your pet's waste
Always leash your pet
Respect wildlife
Know where you can go
If park staff sees you and your pet abiding by the rules, being respectful of other park visitors and cleaning up after your pet, you can be rewarded with BARK Ranger swag to proudly show that your pet is a true BARK ranger.
