Went to the Murfreesboro Bark Park with two of my friends (Michael and Lauren) and their dogs. Had a great time walking and enjoying nature. The scenery is beautiful with stones river and all of the beautiful landscape. I also love all of the historical markers and signs that tell about the area along the greenway. It's a great little place to enjoy a beautiful place outdoors with your friends read more

Took my dog here multiple times myself. Never really had much of a problem and if there was, thankfully some owners handled their own dogs. However, I decided to take him here only because I haven't experienced anything bad and it was his birthday. I have a husky and he's a little older but not old and super gentle. But he absolutely hates being humped and if my dog did the same, I will handle my dog. But I had to chase my dog for 20 minutes because this dog whose owner was on the other side not aiding or handling their dog was trying to hump. Kept licking my dog's sanitary areas, and just kept jumping on the back to hump. My dog may be getting a little old but he tried listening to my commands to just go to the other side. This dog just kept following. I think the wife who was holding her small dog just kept commenting on how it's a normal thing and also commented how I brought a child with me. First of all, my daughter is fine, my husband is with me too, but man she pissed me off. I literally did not touch the dog until my dog started to become EXTREMELY defensive and started to yelp. Literally not being dramatic but he just wanted to pee but these dogs were not allowing him do normal dog stuff. Thankfully the other nice lady whose dog was also humping was being handled but the other dog. Omg. I don't recommend coming here anymore. It's not bark park anymore it's fight park now. Some owners just needs to be a little more attentive and handle their dogs. read more

it's a super nice park and my dog chowder loved it because he got to have the zoomies leash free

I would just like say I don't recommend going to the bark park because some people there do not know how to responsible handle their dogs. People will just let their aggressive dogs go without supervision. I have a puppy corso super sweet and had never attack another dog, but will stand up for himself. This morning I went to the Bark Park and this ladies dog was trying to attack my dog multiple times and My dog was laying down and her dog came up to attack mine, keep in mind her dog was attacking other dogs to, I pulled her dog off of mine not aggressive just gently pulled him by the collar and told him to go and this lady start yelling and cussing at me and telling me that she should have beat my A** and saying my dog was being aggressive when clearly her dog came up to mine and she said that I can't take care of my dog and saying my dog is mean. She followed me out Of the park trying to fight me. I called the police but they couldn't do anything so I would just like to say watch your surroundings with other dogs because some people do not care about theirs or yours. read more

It's a pretty nice dog park. The convenience to the trails is great. It's pretty large and for the most part the people/dogs were fine and following rules and it was pretty clean. I would say it needs to be updated a bit as the benches are wobbly and the dog water bowls are dirty buckets but their dogs do not a huge deal. However if you are there when the lady pictured is there major Karen alert. She was very rude to her dog, you can tell her dog fears her, and she tried to kick, yes, KICK my dog when they were playing. She also yelled at my dog to "get the f*** away from her dog." Why bring your dog to the dog park if it can't play with other dogs? Also to note my dog is 1 and is playful as most are, and played very well with all the dogs. So if you see her be prepared to want to leave! read more

GREAT dog park! Separated into little and big, though if your little one wants to play with the big boys, they are certainly welcome! The three things I love about this park that makes it a stand out contender are: - HUGE space for dogs to run around in, providing lots of room for everyone to spread out and romp and never feel too crowded - Water fountain for pups and humans inside of the park plus there are bowls in the park over by the gazebo - Shade AND open space - love to have a choice to be out in the sun or under some shade and so does my pup! read more

Bow wow, woof, woof, woof...woof....woof...that's what my pup says about this place!! Since he can't write with his paws I will write it for him. Place is big, I like how they have areas for big & small dogs. They keep plenty of dogge doo bags around so lazy people PICK UP YOUR POOP!! Saw a dog eat poop, that was gross, so people clean up after your pups!!! This place is here to enjoy not our job to clean up after your pet!! Geezzzzzz! I will be looking forward to taking my new babies here when they are old enough and had all their shots. Excited they have a place to go too. read more

This is a good dog park with separation for dog sizes (one for small; one for larger dogs) as well as a big grassy run for playing catch. The boys enjoyed their time here. On a Sunday afternoon there were about 10-15 dogs at a given time. Just the right amount of dogs for the size of the park. There was water and enough doo doo bags to go around. The fence isn't large or sturdy but it does the job. There are plenty of gates to keep the dogs safe, with a separate leashing area as well. We'll be returning here again and the boys can't wait! read more

Murfreesboro Bark Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I went ahead and gave the park 5 stars because it's not their fault jerks use this park. I have a younger dog I've been gradually socializing. She's tiny, so I like the little dog area. But, every time I've been, people with large dogs just come in unexpected. It makes the process really difficult for people with small dogs. Especially when they are learning how to dog. Besides that and poop everywhere (again, not the fault of Bark Park) it's really nice. There are dirt areas, but also a lot of good grass. Even with benches in the littles area, I don't mind sitting in the pee grass with my little one as she acclimates. In general, the not jerks are majority. She has her little friends she has seen a couple times who are helping her out. It is nicely shaded and also sunny. I love that there is an area for mannered dogs to be off leash right outside the gated area. I also love that it's right off the Greenway because I can park at any trailhead and walk there, or just park at the park. It's great. A little confusing to get out the first time I parked at the park, though. There are double gates on each side of the park, so whether you're coming off the Greenway or parking lot, access is easy. Just please keep your big dogs out of the little dog area unless you know for certain they are gentle. My last dog literally got killed by being squished playfully by a large breed dog. I do NOT want this to happen again and if people can't respect the little dog area, I'm going to be very sad to stop going. So please people, big rowdy dogs need to play with other big rowdy dogs and not little dogs. read more

Great place, they have expanded the large dog section. The field and river are a big bonus. The only thing bad about it is that there isn't another one just like it in Murfreesboro. read more

Murfreesboro Bark Park - Ruby and Charlie. - Dog Parks Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Bark Park is always full of interesting people with different ideals of dog ownership. However, the majority of people at the dog park will back you up if something unfair occurs at the park. As with any good dog park, Bark Park has large and small dog section. Behind the Bark Park is a large open field beside the Greenway that people will well trained dogs will take their dogs to play fetch. I recommend that your dog have very good recall if you let them offleash here since there are bikers and skateboarders that frequent that Greenway. Before you enter, it is best that you watch the dogs first. If your dog is more timid or is young and not ready to be rough and tumble, it's important you make sure before you enter the park that there are gentle playmates for your dog in the park. Generally though if something bad happens that was no fault of your own dog, I'd confront the owner (not directly) by saying, "Hey, your dog just did ____, can you control it?". I've had problems with owners taking their untrained, horribly mannered dogs into the dog park... they obviously don't walk it and it has no manners so it either becomes a bully, or is too happy to have manners and bowls nervous dogs over. if your dog is high energy and looses his manners or has none, don't bring him to the dog park. You're going to piss people off. Take your dog hiking, biking, something. Barfield-Crescent park is right across town and there are several training clubs in town to get a well trained dog. There's a freaking Greenway right behind the dog park, maybe you should take him for a hour or two long walk if he's so hyped up. Work on your training at home or with a trainer, not at the park. Dogs will fight over dog treats or food, so don't bring it. Take your prong collar off your dog while it is in the dog park!! There have been numerous incidents in other parks I frequented of loose, ill fitted prong collars hurting other dogs during play. You can go to the local PetSmart or Petco and get a choke chain instead. Maybe a normal collar. They allow intact dogs which is great. Most intact pet owners at this park have well trained dogs that they don't allow to hump or harrass. It doesn't matter if your dog has it's balls or not, if it's an asshole, please leave. And do NOT bring your female in heat. Overall, this park is great during the week as it's lower activity for dogs just starting to come out of their shell. Watch who is present carefully and you should be ok. There's assholes in every place, but most of the time they're the people who aren't really dedicated to pet ownership and use the dog park to let their rude-ass untrained dog run around while they sit and twiddle their thumbs. If you have a pretty bomb-proof dog, then this park is great just about any time of the week for you. read more

I frequent the M'boro Bark Park and I think it's really great! My dogs always enjoy it (and the river behind the park) and the park is kept up pretty well. Occasionally, the poo bags run out, but they are typically replaced quickly. All in all, it's a great bark park! read more

I am so happy this exists so close to our house! Its such a great place to let your dog off the leash to play and socialize with other dogs. There is a waste station that provides bags to clean up after your dog. There is a large fenced in area for the bigger dogs and a smaller fenced in area for small dogs. There are benches to sit on and a water fountain which will come in handy on those hot summer days. Next to the fenced in areas, there is a big grassy area for dogs to play fetch (if they are good off the leash). Also, there is a greenway and a river close by which is a nice bonus. read more
