Visiting Big Bear Lake with your dog? Don't forget to factor in some playtime at Bark Park! This off-leash area provides a safe space for your dog to burn off energy and socialize with fellow dogs. While your pup enjoys playtime with other dogs, you can relax on a nearby bench and take in the scenery. Bark Park is a great way to keep your dog happy and exercised during your Big Bear Lake adventure.

Off-Leash Dog Park in Big Bear

Bark Park is a fully enclosed off-leash dog park in Big Bear, making it a safe and secure area for dogs to socialize and exercise. The park is divided into separate areas for small and large dogs, ensuring a fun and comfortable experience for all breeds and sizes. Each section is fenced, providing ample space for dogs to run and play, though the overall size of the park is on the smaller side. The ground is covered in sandy dirt, which can become muddy after wet weather. Inside each fenced area, benches are available so you can relax while your pup enjoys some playtime. While it's best to bring your own poop bags, waste disposal bags are also provided at the park.


Just outside Bark Park, there are two additional parks with amenities such as benches, restrooms, picnic tables, tennis courts, and play areas for kids. If you'd like to explore beyond the dog park, you can take your leashed dog for a walk around these areas and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
