Brownsburg’s new dog park opening July 6
By Lindsay Doty
Dogs in Brownsburg will soon have a new green space to sniff out with the opening of the Bark Park located at Cardinal Park, 3432 Hornaday Road, just a few steps from the B & O Trail.
The new 2-acre space devoted to canines is set to open Monday, July 6. Park hours will be 5:00 a.m. to dusk.
The park features separate areas for large and small dogs (under 30 pounds), natural play features, benches, shade, and a wash station available for rinsing off muddy paws.
“We’ve been thrilled with the positive response to the dog park from residents who are eager to join. This new space will provide a great opportunity for dogs to get some off-leash exercise. We can’t wait to see the variety of breeds and sizes running, climbing on the rocks and socializing together,” said Brownsburg Community Engagement Manager, Mary Louise Bewley.
Bark Park memberships go on sale July 6 and owners will need to have documentation that their dog(s) are up-to-date on vaccinations.
For 2020, Bark Park monthly fees will be $10 per dog for regular members, $8 per dog for resident members. You may register up to three dogs.
In-person registration is available at the Brownsburg Parks administration office, 402 E. Main St. daily from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. starting July 6. Owners can register online starting at 9:00 a.m. on July 6 at https://brownsburgparks.com/cardinal-bark-park.
Registration is also available at the Brownsburg Farmers Market on July 9, 16, 23, and 30th at the Brownsburg Parks tent. The farmers market is open to the general public from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Town Hall Green, 61 N. Green St.
Due to COVID-19 precautions, Bark Park visitors who are not feeling well are asked to avoid the dog park for the safety of others.
