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.

Before you go

The water fountain is turned off in winter through April, so bring your own water. This park is best for a quick midday visit; avoid it when wet since the sand turns to mud.
