About the Saint John Bark Park

The Park

The Saint John Bark Park is a one-acre space where dogs are legally permitted to socialize and play together off-leash.  There are two sections: one for larger, more active dogs, and another area for smaller, less active dogs.  The Bark Park is located in Rockwood Park, in Saint John, New Brunswick.  (See "Location" at left for more details.)

Who's on the Bark Park Committee?

We are a group of Saint John area citizens and dog lovers who recognize the value an off-leash park brings to our community. Together with the generous support of the City of Saint John Leisure Services and our sponsors, we are making our dogs' dreams of wide open spaces to play a reality.

We'd love to have you (and your dogs!).

History
In June of 2006, a group of local citizens joined together for a common cause.

The Mission:

To establish: a fenced in, off-leash dog park where well-behaved canine citizens can exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering or annoying people, property or wildlife.

To develop a beautiful, well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and restrictions.

To view this park as a community project, in partnership with the City Saint John and Rockwood Park, designed to satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
