Marion Park District - THE Bark Park

"Fun place for your dog. 2 large areas to run. Area for large dogs and a separate area for small dogs (if needed)."

"I live in the area and I was killing some time in town with the pups before an appointment and saw there was a dog park. I didn’t know it was a members only park. Leave it to the Marion government to ruin something as simple as a dog park. You can’t do anything in this town unless they get their cut. What a waste. Instead of a nice dog park, I had to go to the Loves truck stop where they have a dog area."

"Membership required to partake in this beautiful dog park. I’m not sure what the price is as I showed up on a Sunday. Only staying for the one day but wish we could have used the space. If you’re going to charge a membership fee, at least have a daily price for those staying in the area. Maybe update your website so we can actually purchase one with a 24 hour pin. Drove 20 minutes to this location."

"First, this is the one and only dog park I’ve ever heard of that charges a membership fee to enter. I didn’t know that it was members-only and I was just staying in Marion for one night as I drove through. The dog park itself is just a medium-sized area with a fence around it. Not exactly entertaining for the dogs. And there were no dogs there anyway! Because I wasn’t cool enough to be allowed into the gated area, I was walking my dog through the park that surrounds it. As I was walking back to my car, a nice couple had arrived and our dogs were eager to play with each other, so they let me enter so our dogs could play. So, that was very nice of them and our dogs loved playing with each other. But membership dues???? For a dog park?? That’s ridiculous."
