Carla Madison Dog Park
Quick Capitol Hill off-leash fix at 16th and Josephine
About this park
Carla Madison Dog Park is a compact, triangular fenced space at 16th Ave and Josephine in Capitol Hill, convenient for city dwellers who need a quick off-leash fix. The gravel surface is all-weather but turns muddy in wet conditions. It attracts a neighborhood crowd with generally well-behaved dogs, but the small footprint means it can feel tight with more than a handful of pups.
