Barkland Avenue Dog Park — Attraction in Lynn

The park itself is split into one space for small dogs and another for big dogs with plenty of room to run. They provide hand sanitizer, poop bags, a couple benches, and a water fountain (that sometimes works). The bad side is that the grounds have been torn apart from constant use, exposing tons of rocks and glass shards in the soil. When it rains or in early spring the area is a giant mud puddle. The two trees they have there are pretty much dead, so there’s also no shade in the summer. The amount of dogs comes and goes. I’ve been there when it’s just my dogs and when there’s been around 10 running around. I’ve never seen anyone around to enforce it but my dogs are registered to use the park. $25 each/yr which isn’t bad, but I wish I saw that go back into the condition...

There are 2 huge fenced in parks attached which is great . If a small dog owner isn't ready to introduce thier small dogs to the large dog enclosure the 2 are connected so the dogs can still see each other and play but thru a fence. Cute benches with paw prints. One doggie water fountain does work in the small dog enclosure so you don't even have to pack water which is convenient. Lots of birds and greenery and woods surrounding it making it a good place to relax. Any one with dogs and no back yard or apt living really should come take advantage of this so the pups can run free it's fun to see the dialogue n different dog personalities . This dog park is monitored and clear on the no children under 10 rule signs up about...

I love this dog park. The people and the animals that go there are really nice and friendly. There is a separate area for small dogs under 30 lbs and they even have a small dog costume party in October with food and prizes. You do need to buy and annual pass to use it that you can get for $25 at Lynn city hall. This would be 5 stars, but the pipe to the water for the dogs broke last year and the city still hasn't fixed it so bring some H2O to keep...
