Lucky pups in Detroit have their own hidden gem in trendy Corktown at the Petsmart P.U.P.'s Detroit Dog Park! Once the Macomb Playlot, this space was refurbished thanks to efforts of Detroit dog lovers and Petsmart. Located where 17th and Rose Streets meet near Michigan Central Station, the dog park offers city dogs a place to unwind, ditch the leash, and enjoy a quiet afternoon with other local pooches in this busy city.
Detroit Dog Park offers a fully fenced-in space to contain even the most clever explorers, and with a double-gated entrance, this park takes safety seriously. Inside, the park is a medium-sized grassy, open area for all sizes of dogs to mingle, so be sure your tiny pooch is comfortable running with the big dogs. With lots of shade, its a great spot for hot days, and the quiet neighborhood can make you feel far from the fast pace of Downtown.Â
Whether your dog loves fetch, chasing furiends, or is a sniffer, there's plenty of room here to satisfy your canine bestie. Benches give you a place to relax and watch all the action while enjoying the Downtown Detroit skyline. Clean-up bags and trash cans are on site, making it a breeze to promptly pick up after your pup. Bowls are often left here, but be sure to bring your own water to keep your happy pooch hydrated.Â
If your dog is itching to visit this pupperdise, be sure they are fully vaccinated and licensed, with appropriate tags on their collars first. Always keep your dog leashed when entering or exiting the dog park, and everywhere outside the fence. Prevent your dog from barking excessively, and for everyone's safety, remove them if they become aggressive .
Give your dog a tail wagging adventure with a trip to the Petsmart P.U.P.'s Detroit Dog park today!
