Hill's Bark Park

Richmond's first bark park for our four legged, canine friends and their owners to socialize in a fenced in, safe area. We invite you to come out and be a part of the canine community and feel safe knowing that your dog can run and play in a controlled environment.

Keep your eyes open for Phase II of the Hill's Bark Park project. We will soon begin construction on the Agility Park expansion of the bark park.

Most of all, please abide by the bark park rules so that everyone is safe.
