In Bark Park Bonding, players take on the role of a lonely retiree who is looking to expand their social network. By going to the local dog park and striking up conversations with other regulars, players can develop weak ties that are important for their overall well-being. As players get to know fellow dog owners, they'll discover shared interests and commonalities, gradually building their relationship with each person. With enough effort, these weak ties can become strong bonds that add joy and companionship to players' lives.
