Pelican Bark Park

63350 Pelican Drive
985-626-1444

The Pelican Park Bark Park opened in May 2010 thanks to the ground roots efforts by volunteers who raised money to make the park possible. While the District's Board of Commissioners designated the four acre tract for the park and staffing to construct the park, the funds raised by volunteers paid for fencing, water fountains, benches, signage, a gazebo and pools. Benches were built and donated by Ethan Mayfield as his Eagle Scout project.
