Welcome to Central Bark, Uptown Station’s special and exclusive Pet Park.
When we created J G Plaza at Uptown Station, we saw that we had an area that could just be grass which would be great for people, or we could build a park just for the Uptown Station puppies!
So, here is Central Bark, a fenced area where dogs can hang out and do what they like to do.
We have fenced the whole area, and there are two separate areas, so if needed we can have a ‘big dog’ and ‘little dog’ area, or we can hold an event in one half and let puppies just play in the other.
There is a water spigot and dog bowls for fresh clean water; play equipment for those inclined to exercise, and plenty of grass to run and play on.
We have trash containers and bags for those little ‘personal’ moments our puppies have, and Central Bark is regularly cleaned an maintained.
We’re also planning events, and obedience and agility lessons. Let us know what you’d like to see?
Come and bring your puppies to Central Bark.
We like to hear of other Dog Friendly businesses.
Here’s an article about Shorty’s in Grayton Beach.

Latest news (October 28th) is that Central Park’s expansion is under way and the new fencing will be started this week and should be completed in a week or so.
More news later.

Obedience classes would be wonderful. I would love to see that.

We think that’s a great idea too. We’re working on it along with agility classes.
The new extended fencing, which will have areas for both small and large dogs will be finished soon.
We’re also planning a dogs and wine tasting session with Wine World Outlet for a regular day every month – we think it will be called ‘Sit! Stay! Sip!’ – watch this space…..

This is great! I no longer have to make a long drive for my pup to play! The agility lessons sound like a great idea for my Sheltie!
