Farmers Branch Bark Park

Coming Summer 2019 - The Barney Wood Bark Park!



You asked for it and doggone it, you got it!



The Barney Wood Football Field at Don Showman Park will be transformed into the Barney Wood Bark Park. The 1.44 acre field, located next to the Farmers Branch Community Recreation Center, will be revitalized into a large and small dog area. Each section will have a doubled-gated entry, a splash pad, lighting, and ample seating.

Why a dog park?



You expressed the desire for a park to enjoy with your beloved canines in Farmers Branch. Reports suggest that dog parks may decrease property damage, promote positive social behaviors for dogs and their owners, and build a stronger community.

Happy pup.
Happy you.
Happy community.

Why Barney Wood?



Barney E. Wood was a respected mainstay of the Farmers Branch Parks and Recreation board for 29 years, 13 as chairman. Barney's steady hand and leadership contributed to the emergence of Parks and Recreation and the development of youth sports in Farmers Branch. From the construction and maintenance of the fields, to coach and league coordinator, Barney was there! On October 12, 2002, the city of Farmers Branch honored Barney's exemplary service with the dedication of the Barney E. Wood Athletic Complex.

Barney's legacy continues to be shared with citizens of our community and their four legged friends.
