Sun Prairie Dog Park — Attraction in Sun Prairie

It's our home park. Not the biggest, but plenty of room to run and chase. In general, the people I have met there over the years are great.

The downsides - The drainage is not great. I will not go here if it rained recently. I realize mud is a part of owning a dog. This park is set up on an old landfill, which is fine, it's a good way to repurpose the land. Sycamore Park is Madison is also on a landfill. This is probably common knowledge to most who go to these parks. I don't know the reason, but the top soil at the sun prairie park stays wet for days. There are swampy places that could be solved by doing some minor regrading. The lower wooded section in the back usually has standing water. Dog poop. I don't know what people's problem is, but there is a lot of dog crap everywhere. Bags and trash cans are available. Pick up you shit folks. Which bring we back to the standing water. It's probably 50% crap water.

At some point, your dog will wind up covered in shit because someone else is lazy. It gets pretty bad in winter. It would almost be forgivable if we had a lot of snow accumulation this year, but that has not been the case. Getting a baggy, taking of your mitten and picking up crap is too much to ask, don't go to dog parks. These are probably the same people that leave their dog crap ON the sidewalks and bike paths.

Your mileage may vary. Token Creek dog park is not far away and the turds per acre is far far lower, and there are no...

This is a beautiful park. It seems very well maintained. We've been a number of times in the past two months since moving from Arizona. Where we had a yard and space for them to run around outside.

We have 2 dogs, small ones. About 25 pounds and a 10 pound dog. We do keep them in the small dog area only because they haven't familiarized themselves with the larger dog yet. will slowly move them in there.

I have not experienced an owner, not cleaning up after their dog, nor have I experienced aggressive dogs or rude owners like mentioned in previous posts.

We have been several times in the past two months, and we plan to...

This is a very large fenced dog park with a smaller fenced area for small and/ or timid dogs. There are obstacles for the dogs to play on, graveled walking paths for humans and shaded sitting areas for humans. There are sleds for pet medical emergencies, a watering station and a few pet poo bags, however both dispensers were near empty. Trash containers are near the entrance. There were so many dog poo piles left behind by pet owners that we made it about 20 feet in and had cleaned up about 6 piles by other dogs. There were piles in the grassy areas as well as the gravel. Watch...
