Morrison Bark Park Remains Open A 'mysterious" respiratory illness in dogs has been reported is numerous states including Illinois. At this time, our Bark Park remains open. We ask dog owners to continue being responsible by picking up after your dogs and to limit your dog's exposure to other dogs. If the Bark Park is occupied, we ask that you consider another time to visit. If your dog displays any symptoms of a cough or other illness, please seek treatment as soon as possible. Please continue to use the Bark Park at your own risk and discretion and by following the rules posted at the park. Thank you!
