Cody Kelly Bark Park

My furrbabies LOVE coming to the Bark Park! Best doggie park in the area! Be sure to have your dog’s tags on their collar because the ASPCA has been out here checking to see if dogs here are licensed. Plenty of buckets for water, tennis balls to play with, benches to sit on, trees for shade, and pooper scoopers to clean up after your doggies, too!

My oldest dog loves this park! We love it too! It’s a huge lot but it needs more grass, I understand we have a drought but it’s okay! Also it needs more shady areas to sit at but again it’s a good dog park! There are two seperate areas for small dogs and big dogs! Thus place has a pooper scooper and a few trashcans to throw the poops and a water fountain for the dogs but it’s always dirty and I bring my own bowl and water for mine. But all parents for furkids know once you bring them to a dog park they dont even remember you because they do their own thing!

There are very few dog parks that I adore in the San Joaquin Valley. This is one. It’s like a steak. Juicy. Tasty. Hot.

I love this park!
I usually go in the evenings and I’ve never had a problem with a dog or their owners. There are separate sections for small and big breeds but I always go in the big breed section. I take my mixed chihuahua and three pugs! What you usually find is very kind people who have a mutual love for dogs and they’re naturally regulars.

After living in the city for a couple months we decided to try out this dog park with our three girls and foster boy. We showed up around 6:30 in the morning and it already had a lot of dogs. The park is large with an additional small dog side which was nice. When we came up to the gate though we stayed out for five minutes until the small dog owners got their dogs to the small side which of course the owners appeared annoyed but with our 50+ lb dogs it was for their dogs safety. An older guy approached us and spoke about some of the regulars which was nice but the next person that came was an older lady (a regular) that showed up and was instantly complaining about our dogs breed and telling her dog «don’t play with those pits» after her dog was just chasing them in fun. She more than once asked if they were my dogs which was very annoying. It’s very unfortunate that people are still naïve about breeds. Even though my dogs have a right to be able to play there we will not be back. If you’re not above the age of 50 with old dogs I would probably stay away from this park. Gave it two stars only because of the size, cleanliness, and the nice man.

Great dog park! There’s a small dogs and big dogs area. Lots of room. The park across the street is pretty nice as well.
Looking forward to coming here again and again.

I was nervous to take my 8lb dog there but quickly realized they have separate sections for big dogs and little dogs. What a relief! Lots of friendly dog lovers. My dog had a blast. Will go back more regularly.

Cody Kelly Bark Park is a very nice dog park conveniently located off Highway 198 at Plaza Drive (in with the Plaza Park across from pond) in Visalia, CA. It has a small dog section (25 lbs or less), and an «all dog» section. The «all dog» section has water in it, the small dog section has no water plumbed into it.
What I like about it:
Nice people and dogs, easy parking, lots of grass, plenty of shade, benches cemented in, plastic chairs in the park, 8 foot fences on the outside of the dog park. My dog liked it, too.
What I do not like about it:
No water in the small dog section. Small dog owners have to go through the SINGLE gate in the small dog area, walk to the other side in the «all dog area» and get water. Due to this, small dogs have old water standing in the bowls. (dog owners should not carry a small dog into a larger dog section lest the large dogs view the small dog as a toy). Water should get plumbed in, and the single gate should be chained shut permanently. If not that? Then make it a proper double-​gate.
Overall? Excellent job, Visalia. Will be back if I am ever driving through again.
