Bark Park at Sacramento County Animal Care Shelter

Located in front of the new Sacramento County Animal Care Shelter, the Bark Park totals two acres, with separate areas for large and small dogs, and is equipped with doggy drinking fountains. The park was constructed in partnership with grant money from the County Department of Regional Parks.

The Sacramento County Animal Care Shelter is one of the first municipal shelters in the nation to have a dog park located at the shelter. By providing a dog park, we are encouraging dog owners to follow existing leash laws by providing a location they can allow their dogs off-leash to get plenty of exercise and where they can meet and socialize with other dog owners. Sacramento County Code Title 8 references leash laws that state that dogs must be on a leash at all times unless they are in a designated areas.

Days/Hours of Operation: Open seven days a week, 8 a.m. to dusk
