Bark Park in Georgetown
Bark Park, the City of Georgetown's first public off-leash dog park, is situated on approximately 6 acres adjacent to the McMaster Complex. Open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., it offers dedicated areas for both small dogs (under 30 pounds) and large dogs, all nestled within a shaded pecan grove. This design provides a pleasant environment for pets and their owners.
The park includes several key amenities, such as an agility course, water fountains with dog bowls, mutt mitt stations for waste disposal, and benches for resting. To ensure a safe experience, Bark Park has established specific rules for dog owners and handlers. These rules emphasize that users enter at their own risk and are responsible for their dogs' behavior. Certain restrictions prohibit dangerous or aggressive dogs, and strict measures are in place for dogs showing signs of aggression.
All dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the park and must have current vaccinations. The park enforces the requirement that dogs wear license tags, and handlers must ensure that their pets remain in sight and under control at all times. To maintain cleanliness and safety, owners are expected to clean up after their dogs, and additional prohibitions include restrictions on food, glass containers, bicycles, and smoking within the park.
The park has specific guidelines regarding supervision, allowing a maximum of two dogs per adult. Children under 12 must be closely supervised, and activities involving running after dogs are forbidden. Owners should not leave their dogs unattended, and any equipment or waste brought into the park must be taken out by the individual responsible. The park may also close if deemed necessary for public safety or interest, requiring adherence to these operational guidelines.
