Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department issues new requirements for dogs entering Liberty Park’s off-leash Bark Park

Clarksville, TN – In an effort to reduce the risk of the spread of possible disease in canines in Montgomery County and to reduce the number of aggressive dog incidents, the City of Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department is requiring that all dogs entering the off-leash bark park at Liberty Park have the following vetting: Rabies vaccination, parvovirus vaccination, distemper vaccination and be spayed or neutered.

This new requirement will go into effect, May 18th, with the opening of Liberty Park.

To use the bark park, you must register with the Parks and Recreation Department and show proof of vetting. Access to the park will be by an electronic lock with a key fob issued upon registration. There will be a $10.00 charge to cover the cost of the gate entry fob which must be renewed annually.
