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.

Plenty of room for the doggos to roam and it is…read morevery well maintained (compared to the Madison parks and the smaller Middleton one at Penni Klein), as the grass is frequently cut, and mulch frequently reapplied. 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.
