NORFOLK, Va. — Looking for something fun to do with your dog this summer? Take them to the ballpark!
On select days, paws are welcome at Harbor Park and you can catch a game with your best furry friend.
Dogs of all sizes and breeds are welcome at Bark in the Park games on a leash. After you purchase your and your four-legged companion’s tickets, enter through the 3rd base gate and head to a table to sign a waiver. Once signed in, you can grab a free rope flyer dog toy and head up the ramp to the dog section.

Dogs are allowed to sit in sections 215-223 and can sit wherever their hearts desire. These sections give easy access to the grassy area behind the scoreboard for potty breaks.
Dogs can also walk along the concourse and visit vendors to get treats, take pictures with Riptide, and visit the dog merchandise booth that has toys, bandanas, dog tags, leashes and clothes available for purchase.
In the summertime, water and pools are set up to help keep dogs cool.
Each dog ticket costs $5 and all proceeds go directly to a dog charity. Norfolk Tides General Manager, Joe Gregory, says Bark in the Park has a positive community impact.
