welcome to bark park
a note from our founder, Charnelle
Henlo Fren! I am Charnelle the creator of Bark Park. I am so excited to meet your Dog. Bark Park first came to me on a rainy winter day when one of my Dogs, Kovu was climbing the walls desperate to get out of the house. Those of you who have met him know, he's obsessed with water so a walk in the rain equals a bath to follow because rain = puddles! It was "one of those days" and I started googling "indoor dog parks in Melbourne" to keep returning empty searches no matter how I reworded the search.
So it got me thinking, my mind moving a million miles thinking about all of the possibilities and I began to discover that Indoor Dog Parks are a pretty popular thing overseas. That's when I decided my dogs deserved a space that was worthy of their energy, happiness and safety.
I wanted to create a place where owners could feel relaxed, comfortable and engaged with their Dogs, somewhere that provided enrichment beyond just the physical requirements that our canine companions require. I wanted a place where my dogs could just be dogs, with their different personalities being nurtured and a place that was available for them when the great outdoors let us down.
I am thrilled to share my truely Dog Friendly Indoor Play Centre with you and cannot wait to meet all of your dogs!

the bark bath
The welfare of our canine companions is our priority at Bark Park. When Charnelle first told her (very dog loving) family about her idea for Bark Park one of her brothers Bailey came up with the idea to commence his training and become a Dog Groomer. From a young age it was always known Bailey would work with animals and has found his calling in the salon.
Bailey has dedicated the past 6 years to learning about all of the diverse needs our different dogs have from behaviour, coat, health and different needs Bailey is experienced in creating a happy and healthy relationship between your dog and the grooming salon.
The Bark Bath goes beyond their appointment and establishes positive associations with their attendance at Bark Park.
