Baltimore County’s First Dog Park Man’s Best Friend

The Reisterstown Recreation and Park Council’s Dog Park Committee is now accepting registrations for the new, long-awaited Baltimore Animal Recreation Center (B.A.R.C.) Park at Hannah More. Baltimore County’s first Off-leash Dog Park. Registered dogs and their owners may use the park from sun-up to sun-down each day of the year. To become a member, all dogs must have proof of current rabies vaccination shots and licensing. Membership costs $25/ family per year. The Baltimore Animal Recreation Center (B.A.R.C.) Park at Hannah More features two areas for dogs to roam and socialize with other dogs without a leash. The larger area is 1.5 acres and the smaller area is .75 acres. Each areas also features a dog water fountain.

The Dog Park Committee is looking for sponsors to help fund the dog playground equipment project. Equipment which the dogs can climb on, sit on and crawl underneath is one of the big plans for the committee. People believe that a dog is like a child where they see the playground equipment; they will not become as tiresome as when they see an open field.
