BARC
(Baltimore Animal Recreation Center) Park includes a 1.5-acre park for
large dogs and a .75-acre park for small dogs. Both parks include water
fountains for the dogs.
BARC Park's mission is to provide a clean,
safe and secure off-leash area where well-behaved dogs can socialize,
exercise and play. A core group of area dog lovers worked cooperatively with
the Department of Recreation and Parks to develop plans and regulations for
the dog park.
To ensure that BARC Park is a safe and
enjoyable experience for both canines and humans, all dogs must be immunized
and licensed. Park membership is required, as the registration form verifies
immunization and licensing. Annual family membership is $25. The
Reisterstown Recreation Council manages BARC Park's membership.

If you do not have a printer, Registration forms can be obtained in the
lobby of the Hannah More Center or at the Reisterstown Library.
After registering, members will receive a membership card in the mail with
the code to the gate.
