About the Park
A natural dirt surface underfoot gives this Okemos dog park a rougher, more trail-like feel than a manicured lawn. Okemos sits just east of Lansing in Ingham County, near Michigan State University. It is free to use as a public park. Dirt footing drains differently than grass, turning muddy after rain or spring thaw, so keep a towel in the car. Mid-Michigan winters bring snow and cold that change the surface through the season. Our records don't list fencing or hours, so confirm those with the local parks office before you go. Bring water and waste bags, and check whether the space is enclosed if your dog tends to wander.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Best of all, Elevation 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.
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
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
