Too expensive to go on vacation this summer? Spend your days relaxing at the dog park! We hope you will spend part of your tax rebate check on a Bark Til Dark Dog Park membership! Here are some ways you can spend around $200 of your check that are not nearly as fun as joining the dog park.

Four tanks of gas
Car tune up
Root canal
Gas, phone, electric and cable bill
Clothes and shoes that will be outdated by fall
Dinner in a fancy restaurant
Lottery tickets
Extended warranty for your car
Getting your bunions removed
Airplane ticket (and hope the airline doesn't go out of business while you are on vacation!)
New computer that will be obsolete in a year
One night in a fancy hotel
Trashy novels

**The first 10 people to join in May will receive $25 off a Full Membership when paid in advance or if you choose to use our monthly payment plan, your first month will be free. (New members only) Remember, the park is open 7 DAYS A WEEK, YEAR ROUND!

Welcome to Bark Til Dark Dog Park. Our park is a place where your dog can truly be a dog! You must provide your dog’s up-to-date vaccination records and proof of spay/neuter in order to enter the park. All friendly dogs welcome!*

Bark Til Dark is open 7 days a week, year round. The park is a 6 acre fenced plot in Delaware, off Route 23. We have made many efforts to accommodate dogs of all shapes and sizes and their caretakers. We do this by offering features such as:

• a one acre pond
• an enclosed, shaded picnic area
• a small dog area
• areas for agility and one-on-one training
• a convenient check in area
• a paw wash
• Five open acres to run and play
• A friendly staff person on site at all times
• events for members only
• opportunities to learn about Central Ohio animal rescues, shelters, and other dog related groups
• Your First Visit is FREE (except during special events, i.e. Mingle With Our Mutts, Dog Bone-anza)

* If you have a "bully breed" dog or mix, please call or e-mail mistyfli@aol.com before bringing your dog to the park.

Thinking about joining a Private Dog Park ?
Do you think your dog is "not right" for a dog park?  Most dogs do very well in an off-leash situation!  If your dog is unfriendly to other dogs while being walked on a leash, barks at other dogs when they walk by your home, is shy around people or dogs, or is just older and not very active, we invite you to try out the dog park.  A staff person is always on hand at the park to walk you through your first dog park experience.  Please call us at 740-369-9170 if you have any special concerns about your dog's personality or behavior.  We are here to help!

Food for thought ….if you give up JUST ONE $4 Double Espresso Latte Chai Grande Soy Coffee Drink with extra whipped cream and sprinkles from your favorite corner store each week, your membership will pay for itself!

More food for thought …we also offer a convenient monthly payment plan. For as low as $18 a month, you and your dog(s) can join the Bark Til Dark Dog Park family and enjoy all the amenities of a private dog park !
