About the Park
Full perimeter fencing sets this park apart, giving Ferndale dog owners an enclosed place to unclip the leash. Ferndale is a walkable inner-ring suburb just north of Detroit in Oakland County, so the park draws neighborhood regulars. It is free to enter as a public park. Beyond the fencing and off-leash use, our records don't specify surface or hours, which are worth confirming with the city. Metro Detroit weather means hot summers and snowy, salt-and-slush winters, so footing changes with the season. Bring water and waste bags, and give a shy dog a moment at the gate before joining the group. Check locally for any registration or vaccination requirements before your first visit.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Ferndale 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.
Best of all, Ferndale Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
