Cardinal Bark Park

Cardinal Bark Park is your pet’s playground for unleashed fun! Located at 3432 Hornaday Road, just a few steps from the B&O Trail!

Cardinal Bark Park is a two-acre area of Cardinal Park devoted to man’s best friend. The Bark Park is separated into two areas, one for large dogs and one for dogs under 30 pounds.  Each area has plenty of room to run and play, benches and shade for dog owners, and a walking path that circles the play area. A wash station is available for rinsing off muddy paws (no shampoo products allowed).

The dog park is open from 5 AM – Dusk. Closed on Thursdays from 7 AM – 12 PM for maintenance. Brownsburg Parks reserves the right to close the bark park at any time, without notice, for maintenance purposes.
