In a cooperative collaboration with the Carmel Parks and Recreation Department since the Bark Park opened in April 2009, the Friends of the Bark Park help to manage the dog park by addressing problems, and seeking to educate the members and the community about appropriate canine behavior, responsible dog ownership and proper dog park etiquette.

Due to the popularity of the dog park, funds are being raised to make park improvements. Admission is $1 per person.
