Dog Parks

The City of Grosse Pointe Woods is excited to have two Dog Parks!

Dog park passes are available at the Grosse Pointe Woods Community Center. Residents may choose between two types of passes. A full-access Dog Park Pass allows entry to both the Mack Avenue Dog Park and the Lake Front Dog Park, as well as leashed dog walking throughout Lake Front Park. Alternatively, a Lake Front Park Only Dog Pass (LFP-only) is available at no charge and permits leashed dog walking within Lake Front Park only. All dog park pass requirements apply to both types of passes. 

  • Dog Park Pass fee is $50.00 per household for a new pass and $40.00 for a renewal. There is no charge for a Lake Front Park Only Dog Pass.
  • All residents applying for a Dog Park Pass/LFP-only Dog Pass must provide proof of: current GPW Dog License, current vaccinations of Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella, and homeowner’s liability insurance with at least $100,000.00 in coverage which includes coverage for injury/damage caused by the animal.
  • All residents applying for a Dog Park Pass/LFP-only Dog Pass must agree to the Lake Front Park and Mack Avenue Off-Leash Dog Park Rules.
  • Passes cannot be issued to puppies under 4 months old due to the need for all vaccinations.
  • A limit of 2 dogs per adult when visiting the park. Up to 3 dogs in a household can be registered on the same pass/fob.
  • All Dog Passes expire the last day of February of each year.
