About the Park
Capitol Park Dog Park is a clean, well-maintained off-leash area in downtown Detroit's historic Capitol Park, offering space for dogs to run, play, and socialize. It features water stations for hydration and plenty of seating for owners. Recently renovated with expanded lawn, gardens, trees, and updated lighting, it serves as a community hub integrated with lush green spaces.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Capitol Park Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Capitol Park Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.

Your dog's favorite toy
