Midtown
Although not the biggest dog park in the world, Midtown Dog Park contains a small, gated dog park that is perfect to bring your dog to run some energy out. After a nice afternoon in the dog park, take your pooch to Canine to Five, a doggy daycare and grooming facility, which is perfect if your dog likes to roll around in the dirt. Midtown also has some great dining options for you and your dog, including Traffic Jam and Snug, Union Street, and Jolly Pumpkin which has seasonal ales, great appetizers, and even pizza for you and your dog to enjoy out on their patio.

Lafayette Park
Lafayette Park is a great place to visit primarily for Dequindre Cut Greenway. This is an old unused railroad corridor that has been turned in a “rail-trail”. Lafayette Park is also home to Lafayette Plaisance Park, a 13-acre park that has beautiful scenery and a stunning backdrop of modern Detroit architecture. Take a walk and let your dog enjoy the 90 trees that pave the way through the park. If you and your pup are looking for an easier walk, then check out Miles van der Rohe Historic District and enjoy some of the historical houses and apartments.Keep reading24
Corktown
Detroit’s first dog park is located near the Michigan Central Station in the beautiful historic district of Corktown. PetSmart P.U.P.'s Detroit Dog Park was brought about by a group of Detroit dog lovers who recognized that there was a need for a place where dogs could safely socialize in this big city. This park allows complete unleashed fun without any fees. However, do make sure your dog is vaccinated, and wait to take off that leash until you are safely inside the park. Afterwards, walk through the oldest neighborhood in the city and an enjoy a scenic slice of time. Head over to dog friendly Mercury Burger and Bar for some amazing American food once your appetite is calling.

Eastern Market
If you’re wandering around this historic commercial district and find that you can’t bring your dog inside the famous market of the same name, head over to 3Dogs1Cat, a lovely urban pet shoppe. Here you can find unique and affordable merchandise for your dog, like collars, beds, toys, and the finest in Detroit gear for your favorite pup. After you’re done shopping, visit the Germack Coffee and Tea shop, a local dog friendly coffee house where you can get a delicious peppermint tea or a mocha, a favorite around these parts.
Downtown
Grab your Tigers gear and bring a radio with you to Grand Circus Park located in the heart of Downtown. Right by Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, you and your dog can go on a nice walk in Grand Circus Park before you head to Grand Circus Dog Park, a gated area located inside the park. This is a place where your pup can be unleashed and free to socialize with other Detroit canines. Once your pu is all tuckered out, take pleasure in a good meal at some of Downtowns eating establishments like ASHE Supply Co, WaLa, Pizza Papalis, or Small Plates which offers brunch, chicken and waffles, and fried green tomatoes. All of these eateries welcome your pup to enjoy a great meal with you on their outdoor patios.Dog friendly neighborhoods near Detroit
