Your dog is ultimately your responsibility! We have trained Dogtenders that keep an eye on dogs at all times at Bar K: their job is to supervise safe play and help prevent and intervene in case of an incident. However, you are responsible for your dog at all times.
No, but we do recommend closed-toed shoes, given the dogs, and feel free to rock your favorite Luau attire!
No outside food or drink is allowed at Bar K, including dog treats and dog water. Bar K provides ample water for dogs. This is to prevent any dog aggression or resource guarding.
Yes! We have a covered patio with shade, as well as covered areas around the park to relax under.
Once inside the park, this is a strictly off-leash event. Dogs must be on a leash while checking in, on the patio, and walking through the hallway.
No! All sizes/shapes/breeds are welcome. We have absolutely no breed restrictions.
Because we like to support local vendors, food and drink are not included in the price of admission.
