An off-leash dog park where registered members can bring their licensed, vaccinated, and well-behaved dogs to run free and play!
Who Can Use The Park:
Only well-behaved and vaccinated dogs are permitted to use the Butler Farm Bark Park.
The Park is open to licensed dogs from Millbury/Sutton and up to 200 licensed dogs from other communities.
How to Register Your Dog:

The Park is open to licensed dogs from Millbury/Sutton and up to 200 licensed dogs from other communities. The fee is $20 per year for your first dog and $15 for any additional dogs in your household. The Butler Farm Bark Park is not maintained or financially supported by the Town of Millbury, therefore the Committee relies solely on volunteer labor, membership fees and donations for park maintenance, supplies and capital improvements. Donations in any amount are welcome and appreciated!
