Find the dog park entrance

Get directions to Weddington Road Bark Park. The official Concord parks page provides the current facility listing and map link.
Play areas, surface and water
Both fenced areas include open running space, with agility obstacles, benches and covered seating visible inside the park. Grass coverage varies with season, rain and traffic; worn patches may become muddy or uneven. Check the ground and equipment before fast play.
Visitors commonly report dog drinking water and waste bags, but service can change or be interrupted during maintenance. Bring backup water and a bowl. This is not a swimming park, and the city does not list a dog-wash station.
Rules before you enter
Follow the posted large- and small-dog assignments, close transition gates and keep your dog leashed everywhere outside the fenced runs. Carry a leash and supervise your dog continuously rather than remaining at the seating area when your dog moves out of view.
Clean up waste immediately, keep dogs away from the entrance while others pass through and leave if your dog becomes aggressive or overwhelms another dog. Check the gate latch before releasing your dog and follow any temporary maintenance or closure notices from Concord Parks and Recreation.
What other park goers say
Park goers often praise the roomy separate areas, shade structures, agility equipment, seating, restrooms and nearby parking. Visitors also like combining off-leash play with an on-leash walk along the wooded Hector Henry Greenway.
Other visitors mention bare or muddy patches, uneven terrain, busy play groups and occasional problems with owners leaving gates open or not cleaning up. Inspect the latch and current dog mix before entering, and bring a towel after rain. Read current visitor reviews.
