About the Park
Madison Heights, an inner suburb north of Detroit in Oakland County, hosts this off-leash dog run. Marked as one section of a larger park, it gives dogs room to move without a leash. Use is free, in line with its public status. Southeast Michigan works through the full range of Midwest seasons, from warm summers to cold, snowy winters, so gear up for the weather and carry water when it is hot. We do not have confirmed information on fencing, ground surface, or posted hours, so it pays to look things over on arrival. For dog owners around Madison Heights and the surrounding Detroit suburbs, it offers a nearby place to let a dog trot around off the leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Run A is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Dog Run A 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.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
