The Bark Park

Yikes not sure how this place has gotten such rave reviews. This dog park is tiny! It felt so very cliquey, like a neighborhood block party. Upon arrival about 6 or 7 dogs (2-3 barking) were anxiously awaiting me and my pup’s arrival through the gate. Which sounds sweet and all, and it is, but all of the owners were at the other end of the park not paying attention and gossiping or what have you, and all of the dogs jumped all over us and the gate before we could get our bodies inside. No owners seemed to notice or care, and they certainly didn’t stop their dogs! There was a large friendly but energetic and socially awkward pit bull who did not take a hint that my dog wasn’t particular interested in playing with him and he would let my dog out of his site or space. . . Owner seemed to think my dog was the problem. Anyway, this place was a nightmare!! The owners who apparently dominate the place literally have no clue about dog park etiquette, coming from someone who has visited 100s of dog parks around the country. Neither me nor my dog is perfect, but I think the owners need to get out of their neighborhood bubble and read up on typical dog park etiquette.

The Bark Park is in a perfect location along with clean water provided by the park for you're furry friends when playing and having a playful time.

Busy around 5pm with locals and tourists. Very friendly, clean and accessible.

Tightly fenced in Sandy surface water available and plenty of picnic tables to sit at

Sandy run with a frisbee golf basket. Clean and well maintained. Water dish with fountain Playground Playground just 100 feet away Dog-friendliness Yes! Picnic area One picnic table, partly shaded.

Hidden gem on Folly Beach!

The location is hazardous for one's health. See towers nearby. The sand is fun for dogs, but a bath is recommended to prevent ticks' bites. My dog is used to grass, so she wasn't interested in leaving her scent there 🐕. Walking distance to the beach! Dog-friendliness It is an all-sizes dog park

It’s small, but it’s fairly new and located in the middle of a neighborhood on Folly Beach. Parking is available but extremely limited. It is sand so be prepared for that to go in your car when you leave. They have a water area for the dogs, several benches and picnic tables. Playground There’s a kids playground on the other side of the do park. Restrooms None that I could see but maybe at the playground next door Dog-friendliness Of course. It’s a dog park. 😀

BHANG loves this park. Dog-friendliness Very happy dogs here!

Well maintained, but I got bit on my feet by something (sand fleas?). Just make sure your pet is up on preventatives.
