But if you register your pup online before your visit, when you show up for the first time, you just need to give us your name and you can walk right in!
Our check-in staff will help you register, scan in your vaccine and spay/neuter records, and sign our liability waiver. Day Pass visitors are encouraged to use the membership portal for a quick and seamless entry.
Day passes at Bethesda are available for $10.99 on weekdays and $14.99 on weekends. We recommend registering your dog in advance through our portal.

Bark social is a bar for dog lovers. It's a clean, monitored and gated dog park that serves coffee and breakfast items in the morning and beer, wine, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and lunch items in the afternoon and evening. We also serve dog treats like doggy ice-cream, pupsicles, etc.
Of course! We love dog enthusiasts, not just dog owners! We have great food, coffee, craft beer, wine, and entertainment. Humans get in for free. However, if you're not a dog person, this probably isn't the place for you!

YES! We are open rain or shine.
With our large covered patio and climate controlled clubhouse you will be out of the rain/snow. Since most dogs don't mind running around in the rain/snow, they're free to roam. We offer free towels for you to dry them with afterwards.
For dogs (and humans) that don't like the rain, they can hang out and even run around a bit under the covered patio or in our clubhouse. In the winter, we have infrared heaters and walls around the covered patio.
