Good to know
- Double-gated, fully fenced with separate large and small dog sides — good for reactive or small dogs.
- Everywhere else in Overton Park dogs must be leashed; off-leash is only inside the Bark gates.
- Wood-chip surface and shade, but TN summers are brutal — bring water and watch the heat/humidity.
