Indoor Beach & Pool
A sensory-rich environment where pups can dig, dive, and socialise safely in the sand and splash and paddle in our pools*
​
Agility and Climbing Structures
Elevated levels and sturdy ramps provide confidence-building exercise, allowing dogs to explore at their own heights, as well as agility training structures including a tunnel and jumps.
* Please Note:Â To keep all our visitors safe and comfortable during the colder months, our splash pools will remain empty from September to March. Instead the area is about to be transformed into our Snuffle Pool - a cosy, sensory rich zone filled with interesting textures, scents and enrichment activities for dogs to explore. From April to August, the pools return to their full water-play setup, ready for splashing, paddling and beach-day fun once the warmer weather arrives.
Jak's Play Pit
Jak’s Play Pit was originally called Jaks Corner
Jak’s Corner was created in memory of Jak, our much-loved boy who was with us for 15 wonderful years. It was originally designed as a dedicated sensory and enrichment space for blind and visually impaired dogs, with padded surfaces, different textures and scent experiences to help dogs explore and enjoy the area confidently.
We’ve recently given this space a new lease of life and replaced Jak’s Corner with our new soft-play ball pit!
The ball pit has soft, padded sides and is filled with hundreds of lightweight balls, creating a fun and stimulating space for dogs to explore, dive into and play. The soft-sided design also makes it a safer option for dogs who may have limited vision, while still being great fun for all dogs.
Although Jak’s Corner has changed, we’ve kept the same idea at heart — creating fun, safe and enriching spaces where every dog can enjoy their visit to Barks Indoor Park

What Our Happy Pups Say
Wasn't really too sure what to expect this morning. We were greeted with a warm welcome before going in to a dogs paradise. Having a crazy 10 month old patterdale/frenchie cross let loose in a safe environment was priceless. His senses were in overload. So much for different types of dogs and certainly enough to wear ours out. Would definitely recommend and will be going again

Came for my cousin's dog pawty package and honestly 10/10 , it was adorable, there is something for every dog from tug toys to pool to agility to a ball pit, the lady and gent were lovely & informative, and all the details to decorate for the party & the party bags & little dog friendly cake is such a cute touch that I know all 3 dogs really appreciated (+the humans with our cake&drink) Highly recommend. I will book to return as I know my dog especially enjoyed his time !

Reggie and Blu absolutely loved coming to barks indoor dog park! It's such a fantastic space, especially on those rainy/hot days when outdoor play isn't an option. The facility was clean, and there's so much room for the dogs to run, play safely. I really appreciate the variety of toys and obstacles available, which keeps things interesting for my pups. The staff was super friendly and always on hand to ensure everyone is having a good time. It’s truly a lifesaver for burning off energy and a wonderful way for dogs to make new friends. Highly recommend!
