DOGGY BARK PARK
Where Leash Laws Do NOT Apply!
Bark-LittleDog_3981-webWhile the city of Smithville has a leash law even in their public parks, our new Doggie Bark Park officially opened on May 1st with a ceremony and some waggin' tail fun. This is a place where man's best friend can roam at will and socialize with other dogs their size from sunup to sundown.
