The park was developed by Charles Von Schmidt, the developer behind the Villages at Westpointe. If we had gotten the metal equipment, the dogs wouldn’t have wanted to come back to the park. Von Schmidt said he is now considering a metal pavilion as a replacement to continue offering a comfortable, shaded space for park visitors. Though the park was a major investment, Von Schmidt believes it was the right thing to do. To reach Bark Park, take Waco Street to Westpointe Drive, then follow Westpointe until you reach Point Lookout Drive.
