Barkleyville Dog Park

Barkleyville, Stockton's first off-leash dog park, is open!

Barkleyville consists of four acres at 5505 Feather River Drive (just south of Fourteen Mile Slough). It is a public park designated and built specifically for your dog to socialize and exercise safely and off-leash.

Barkleyville features three areas: one for big dogs (over 20 lbs.), one for small dogs (20 lbs. and under) and a separate play/agility course. Park amenities include benches, doggie water fountains and waste bags.

Barkleyville is open daily from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. Please note: The park is closed Tuesday mornings for mowing and maintenance.
