Pierson Bark Park strives to provide a fun, safe environment for you and your dog(s). By using this park you agree that you understand and assume all responsibility and liability for the risks of unleashing your dog(s) in this facility. Pierson Bark Park is not a supervised facility, therefore users are required to abide by the rules and etiquette at all times while on the premises. Guardians and individuals accompanying them use the facility entirely at their own risk and that of their dog(s). The future of this area depends on members behaving responsibly and obeying all the rules. Canine, human members and visitors of Pierson Bark Park are expected to behave with common courtesy and respect for the property as well as the park users.
We realize guardian socialization is a great added value to the park, but please remember that your first priority is the proper supervision of your dog(s).
