Parks · Midtown / Central Phoenix
The City of Phoenix's flagship central dog park, set in a 72-acre historic park with about 1.6 acres of maintained grass split into separate large- and small-dog areas. ADA-accessible double-gated entrances, drinking fountains, benches, mutt-mitt dispensers, and mature shade trees serve visitors.
Grass and real shade are rare commodities in the desert, and this park delivers both plus chilled drinking fountains for Phoenix summers.
Open daily 6 a.m.–10 p.m. except during large park events, per Phoenix Parks and Recreation. Dogs must be licensed and vaccinated, and leashed outside the fenced runs per city ordinance. Call 602-495-0739 for rain-closure or maintenance updates.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
