Central Dog Park

Central Dog Park is Carmel’s first park dedicated exclusively to dogs, operated by Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. Located at 1427 E 116th Street, this three-acre facility features separate areas for small and large dogs, green play space, benches, shelters, dog waste stations, and a lock-and-key entry system. Membership costs $13 per month with a $60 application fee that covers DNA testing to maintain park cleanliness, and the park currently serves approximately 800 members on a waitlist basis with registrations occurring twice yearly.
