    How strict? REAL Strict!!

    The local Sheriff Department Road Patrols are contracted by the Parks Dept to
    enforce the rules - which includes checking for "Parking Passes"!
    On weekends, a Deputy in a marked cruiser usually makes a pass through the
    Bark Park parking lot every two hours ... no "Pass" on the window or mirror -
    and he'll get out and write a TICKET - which costs a LOT more than a Daily Pass!

    Posted Prices:
    Motor Vehicle Day Use Fees
    Valid at Addison Oaks, Groveland Oaks, Independence Oaks, Lyon Oaks,
    Orion Oaks and Rose Oaks.
    $5 per car per day: Oakland County resident discount rate
    $10 per car per day: Regular rate (OUT-of-County vehicles)
    $3 per car per day (weekday only): Senior Citizen
    $7 per vehicle after 5:00 p.m.: Special Fireworks Fee

    Last few years, on weekends, there has always been a Park Employee sitting in a vehicle
    at the Parking Lot Entrance - who greets every car that doesn't have a Yearly Pass.
    The "advertised cost" of an OUT-of-County car Daily Use Pass is $10.00 -
    BUT for the last three years the guy has ALWAYS accepted a $5.00 bill as payment.
    Give him $5.00 and he gives you a Hang-Tag for your mirror -
    insures that the Partol Deputy drives past without writing a Ticket!

    If you don't want to pay the $5.00 fee - you can get away with parking in the
    Elementary School Parking Lot - across the road and north about 1/4 mile -
    on the right (east side) of Joslyn Road.
    Park in a MARKED parking spot - NOT on the grass or on the driveway!!
    The walk-in gate to the Bark Park is across the road from the School.

    Best place to "meet" is inside the Bark Park - at or near the "Water Pump" -
    located between the two main areas of the Bark Park.

    I've been using Google Maps lately. Forgot Mapquest will let you do that.

    Pretty much what Phred said, Kay Ann. Lately there has been a Park Ranger at the entrance to sell daily parking passes.

    If he's not there, and you park in the lot, you risk getting a parking ticket if they patrol it later.

    In the past, Andy and I have parked in the school lot with no problems.

    Yup, I've marked the calendar! I will definately be there and dragging my mother along too, lol!

    Noon sounds great!

    And I will most likely only bring Jack (but maybe Shadow too). I'm nervous, he has never been to a dog park before...and I'm sure he'll turn into a greedy little toy hogging jerk...

    I'm certain! Noon it is then. Anyone else have cell phones? It's a pretty big park with two entrances.

    There are few loose toys at this dog park, but not a lot. Mostly tennis balls left behind.

    Many bring their and leave with their own toys.

    I don't have a cell. Does everyone just want to meet in the school's parking lot?
