We love Quann Park!!…read more It definitely helps that it's minutes from our house and very centrally located in Madison. With 11 acres of fenced in space to rub and enjoy, Quann parks is one of the biggest and best dog parks I've ever been to. There's plenty of space for all the dogs to spread out and enjoy or to play together based on their activity level! I've been here at least a dozen times, with my dog and dogs we've dog sat! I'm excited for spring and the weather to warm up! It's important to note, it's best to access the park near E Olin Ave or John Nolen Dr. And to turn onto Expo way. If you don't, there's very poor parking or you'll walk at least a quarter mile before you get to the fenced in area

This park is pretty nice. The main entrances are double gated and have poop bags. And the field is…read morehuge! You can spend a decent amount of time going around the walking paths. In the summer, we don't usually go to the fields, though. My dog gets allergies pretty badly, and the grasses here really seem to irritate her especially badly. But she will swim and play fetch in the river for as long as we will let her. The opposite side of the river is not fenced, so if your dog is prone to escaping or getting distracted by things on the other side, this may not work for you, but our pup loves it and always comes back. The other dogs here have all been really friendly. We also almost always find a ball to play with if we forget our own. There are a couple of benches and picnic tables, although they're often covered in muddy dog footprints. My only real complaint is that this place requires a daily or annual fee. I think all city dogs should be able to run around (and pet owners already have to pay to register their pets), so it would be nice if they dropped the fee or made it sliding scale.

The frequent maintenance means that my dog doesn't get too muddy even after rain events. There is also an agility course area that is in decent shape near the front of the dog park. Plenty of parking up front. Just look for the compost sign off County Road Q!

For a dog park that's right downtown, this is a pretty decent park. I really don't think it's fair…read moreto compare it to other parks because this is, by definition, a city park. There is ample space in this park. My dogs and I typically come here right after work on the weekdays. It's not terribly busy and we see a good mix of dogs come and go. Generally, I've found the dog owners to be pretty nice and considerate. I feel like my dog is always a troublemaker because she is just a very loud dog. She has good intentions, but poor execution. Anyway, people have been super understanding of her craziness. I like the location. Sometimes, I'll walk them along the lake first, then go to the park. Other times, I'll stay on the streets and walk here. Overall, it's convenient if you live around the square.

Token Creek is a huge County park with a campground, disc golf and numerous group shelters for…read morepicnics. It's also dog-friendly with numerous trails through the park (on-leash) along with a fenced in off-leash area. The off-leash area is at the back of the park (if you enter off of 151) so keep driving back, back, back until you get to it. There is a perimeter trail that follows the fence line which is your best hope for some shade as the rest of the park is primarily prairie and sunny. You can do loops circling the whole park or cut through the middle (over a slight hill) to make your loop shorter. It's maybe 15 -20 minutes if you're doing the full perimeter loop. There also is a separate puppy / small dog area which is nice. This area offers some agility equipment but unfortunately that's not accessible to the rest of us! It's similar to other County/City parks, there are bags for poop pick-up but no running water so bring your own. There also weren't a lot of people at this park so if you're looking for fewer folks, this may be your spot. If you want a lot of canine company, you may be better off at nearby Sycamore Park. Overall, it's a great option if you're passing through town as it's right off the highway.

This park is lots of fun! It's a large circular park with one main walking trail (although there's…read morea less waked trail along the perimeter of the park). The park has a couple small forests, one of which reminds me of the Blair Witch Project- it's got these tents made out of fallen branches and sticks from the park- super creepy vibe if you're there when it's gloomy or dark out. The small dog section has these dog agility course which are great for training. This is definitely one of my favorite parks to go to!

By far this is my favorite dog park in Madison. My dog loves coming here everyday. I enjoy the…read morenature, the water, and the large area there is for my dog to run around in. Unlike most Madison dog parks, this park is large enough that it can accommodate dogs of any size. I have a particularly large dog, so other dog parks have been hard for him to have enough room to run around in. All the owners I've met are super friendly and understanding if a dog is having a rough day or needs some space. Owners are conscious on their efforts to keep the park clean and abide by the rules to pick up when needed. This park has two docks which are big favorites for pups. They even have two docks by the side of the docks for dogs that are scared to jump right in. Mine likes to soak in the water and feels most comfortable sitting there. Dane County dog parks truly take care of their parks and offer trash bags to dog owners so that owners don't have to bring their own. They also offer a lot of information for dog owners and give passes for owners for a cheap expense. I believe a one year pass is around $30-$35. This dog park also is open YEAR round unlike some of the inner city parks that close when it gets too snowy or muddy. I can't wait to take my pup back!
