It's a Dog's Life.
In late 2003, Wayside was thrilled to open the new Wayside Waifs Bark Park, given and dedicated by the Harold and Marilyn Melcher family. And what a great park it is for an off-leash romp with your canine friends!
Features of our Bark Park
- Membership fees directly support Wayside Waifs homeless pets.
- Five acres of fenced-in grass-covered off-leash fun.
- Double-gated entry.
- Separate enclosed area for small dogs and puppies.
- Trees and shaded areas.
- Covered pavilions and park benches.
- Fully lighted and open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
- “Time-out Kennels” for dogs who may become overly excited or exhausted by their play. The kennels are also handy if you bring two dogs and want to “park” one while doing training work with the other.
- Watering stations located throughout the park.
- Lots of open space for those Frisbee addicts.
- Fun and educational programs provided.
- Ample lighted parking near the park entrance.
- Restrooms available in our shelter during business hours.
