Smock Bark Park - Indianapolis, Indiana

Must have a scan card pass to enter. Beyond the difficulty of obtaining the pass the park is large and nice. It's not usually crowded and my dog absolutely loves it here.

We had a great time at this park over the weekend. For everyone complaining about having to pay- I’d rather pay and have a well maintained area for my pups to play in and to ensure people are vaccinating their dogs before bringing them around mine. I appreciate that the park cares to check our pet’s records. We’re paying for the convenience and peace of mind. If you want to take your dog to a park where they don’t care about those things, then check out the free dog parks else where. I personally think this policy helps keep the troublemakers out as well.

Pulled up to empty bottles of alcohol all over the ground - with weed wrappers nearby - and a sign saying that payment is required to enter! They couldn't add this to the map description?!

Clearly the cops don't care where people are getting drunk and high down here...

My dog love this place! He was able to run and meet new friends! I love how they have water bowls out and provide poopie bags for your fur baby!

This is NOT a PUBLIC dog park. Visitors beware that you need a yearly pass to attend. We booked a hotel nearby, mainly due to the dog park being nearby. If I was a Greenwood resident, it looks really nice

It's a fine park.
First, I'll address my problem. There is no way to show up asks pay to go once. They have a neat security feature where you'd need a fob or something to gain entry. Unfortunately, we were just driving through and wanted to run the dogs for 15 minutes, perfectly happy to pay the$5 single day fee.
Fortunately, a nice person leaving the park let us in.
Now, for the park.
All grass. From afar, it looks lush. When you're in it, you realize that the grass is sparse. It needs some overseeding. Your dog will need to be cleaned up.
Regarding one comment about the mud at the front, they have laid down a nice amount of straw so that's not a problem.
Thanks for letting us play!

Pricey for one dog park ($75 annually) and honestly a tad bit inconvenient to buy access to all dog parks. You'll have to go to a specific park to register. But, I appreciate the fact that its not open to the general public. Wish there were fountains for the dogs instead of bringing our own water.

This dog park requires payment at the local parks department. Most owners pick up after their dogs, much more than at the apartment complex I live in. It gets soggy when it rains. There is ample access to shade, though I'd prefer more benches under trees. The drainage creek will fill an area into a stagnant pond; my dog loves to roll in the mud and do a chomping motion in the water. If there's been rain in the last month, bring something to wash your dog with.
