ABOUT THE
BARK PARK
Topeka, KS is fortunate to have Hill's Bark
Park. In 1999, the bark park was founded to
provide a spacious, secure area for dogs to
run and play leash free. Many improvements
have been made since its establishment to
make it a more enjoyable place for both
canine pals and their owners.
There are two separate fenced-in areas with
double gated entrances for small and large
breed dogs. Inside each area there are picnic
tables, chairs, benches, water facilities, pet
waste stations, and dog toys. There is a
paved parking lot and a donor brick patio area
that lead patrons to the gated areas.

To ensure the safety of the dogs and
people who use the facility, a set of Bark
Park rules have been established to
provide order. Those rules are posted at
each entry gate, as well as on this
website. In addition, the City of Topeka's
dog ordinances also apply to the Bark
Park because it is located in a public city
park.
