On Friday, December 14, 2007, the City of Santa Clarita will unleash its first off-leash dog park, called Central Bark. The 1.3 acre doggie park is located near the back of Central Park, located at 27150 Bouquet Canyon Road, adjacent to the multi-use fields. The new off-leash dog park has a designated area for small dogs and a separate area for larger dogs.
The off-leash dog park came about in response to hundreds of requests received over the years by the City from area dog-lovers. This new off-leash dog park is to be an interim dog park site until the City's permanent dog park is constructed at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex. The City plans to have the permanent park opened in late 2009.
“We invite the community to come and enjoy the new, off-leash dog park area, Central Bark, and remind everyone to follow the posted dog rules, and to keep all dogs on a leash until you arrive at the off-leash dog area,” explained Rick Gould, “top dog” for the City’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department.
