"Bark Parks"
CANINE COMPANION ZONES
Indy Parks and Recreation currently has three Bark Parks, or Canine Companion Zones, at Broad Ripple Park, Eagle Creek Park and Paul Ruster Park where owners and their four-legged friends can enjoy the company of others, off leash! 

 


2008 POOCH PASS
Annual "Pooch Passes" are based on the calendar year (January-December). Passes include a tag for your dog, and a gate access device for you. Please note: separate Pooch Passes are required for each bark park.  Fee is subject to change.

* Please note: There is a fee error in the 2008 Winter Fun Guide - daily passes are $5 per dog.

Annual Dog Tag $75
Gate Access Card $10
Replacement Tag $10
Replacement Access Card $10
Daily Pooch Pass $5

To obtain a Pooch Pass, come to the park office with your dog's vaccination records documenting current inoculations for Rabies, Parvo, Distemper and Bordetella, and complete the application form, sign the waiver, and pick up the dog park brochure.
