Hannah More Park — Attraction in Reisterstown

The BARC Park is amazing. Totally worth the small annual fee. They have a large (+30 lbs.) and small dog park, so whatever your furry friend's size, there's a place for you. Our pup is classified as small, so she can go into either park, which we do, depending on which park has pups in it. Don't worry: she's got "big dog" energy.

We started going and the other fur-parents made us feel right at home. Rarely, if ever, is the park in a bad condition.

I saw a sick animal with pretty severe diarrhea. I was growled at by two dogs. And the large dog side is a giant mud pit. This is unlike any dog park I've been at. It might be good if you are part of the click and your dog is a part of the pack. It's not...

Today was my first visit since we had actually signed up to be part of this part. Outlaw had a blast it was a little too humid for his liking so he got lazy pretty quick and we weren't there more than 15 minutes. I will say though I can't wait to go back again with him this was our first time and environment where other dogs were and he did super awesome he played and even drink out of the same water bowl. The park itself was very nice! The grass was cut, plenty of dog bags and lots of space...
