Description

The B.A.R.K. Ranger Program encourages dogs (and other family fur friends) and their humans to complete at least one B.A.R.K. Code activity geared toward teaching and practicing the etiquette needed when dogs visit historical sites like Pu'ukoholā Heiau. This guided program is as easy as B.A.R.K.!

Bag your dog’s waste and remove it.

Always leash your dog. Keep your dog on a six-foot leash and under control at all times.

Respect wildlife. The park is home to many native species, most notably the State Bird of Hawaiʻi, the Nēnē.

Know where you can go.

Contact park staff for updates and changes. Programs or events my change due to weather or staffing. Mahalo and enjoy!
