bark park

Finding a safe, enclosed space to let your dog enjoy off-leash time isn’t always easy in DC. Knowing how valuable socialization and play are for your dogs, District Dogs is excited to announce the opening of our private, membership-based outdoor Bark Park in the heart of Park View.

Conveniently located adjacent to our Park View Location this fully fenced enclosure offers 1700 square feet of outdoor space for dogs to enjoy off-leash play and exercise while a dedicated tap spigot ensures a fresh supply of water. The space will be open to only to Bark Park members and can also be booked for private events.
