Become A Member of Central Bark

Sign-up today to begin enjoying the perks of our 3 acre gated dog park, with plenty of parking for pet guardians!

Our park is separated into two play areas surrounded by well maintained page-wire fencing. To help make our canine companions and guardians more comfortable, members can choose between spending time in either:

• All Sizes Dog Space
  For dogs who like to socialize and play with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, big and small.
  
  
• Small Dogs Space
  This space is only for small dogs who aren’t comfortable playing with the larger dogs.

Be aware that central bark memberships are for a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household and monthly memberships are only valid for the month they are purchased. Additional days of access are not carried over into the next month.

*If you are a guardian of more than three dogs and wish to gain access to central bark, please email us at askthespecialist@edmontonhumanesociety.com
