Overview
The dog park at Meckauer Park in Bethel, Connecticut is known locally as Bethel Bark Park, and sits at 16 Shelter Rock Rd.
It covers a little under an acre, with separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, bench seating and waste bags provided.
Look for the building with the colourful dog mural. The enclosure is in the section near the old swing sets.
Meckauer Park is Bethel's largest park at 39 acres, founded in 1960 on land donated by Henry Meckauer, and it has been renovated in stages ever since.

Planning Your Visit to Meckauer Park
The wider park adds a playground, basketball courts, an all purpose field and a walking and cycling loop of roughly half a mile.
That loop makes it easy to combine a proper walk on the lead with off-leash time, which suits dogs that need more than a fenced acre provides.
Recorded hours run 8AM to 8PM.
