There will be no refunds on dog park permits purchased once keycard has been issued. If you are unsure if the Park is a good fit for your pet, please consider purchasing a temporary permit first.

Temporary & Foster Permit

Temporary permits are great if you are unsure if your dog is ready for NOLA City Bark or if you are visiting New Orleans with your pet. These permits can be transferred to an annual permit if you decide the dog park is right for you and your pet.

Foster permits are FREE and are issued in monthly increments only. Your foster dog must wear some signifier of their adoptable status (collar, harness or bandana) at all times while within the park.

Temporary and foster permit holders will be given an electronic swipe card, which must be returned to the City Park Conservancy Administration Office at the end of the week or 14-day use. NOLA City Bark swipe cards may be picked up at 1 Palm Drive Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. Please note approval is not immediate and will require at least one business day to process.
