Really nice park. I like to park on Anderson and walk through the forest trail versus drive through the park area to the parking lot (5-10 mins through the park at 15mph with a load of speed humps and still a little trail from parking lot to park)
It’s huge with shaded forest trails and more open ones. The majority of people that attend are smart dog owners/handlers so it’s quickly become my favorite.
There is no running water at the park so a lot of people bring their own water for their dogs and some Good Samaritans leave gallon jugs by communal dog bowls, however it is not a guarantee.

Read moreI brought my dog on vacation with me to Madison (staying in DeForest) and was extraordinarily surprised to find not only a dog park open in January, but a dog park of such size! A modest fee gets you in to all the dog parks in the county for the day, though as a visitor, I lacked some of the paperwork they asked for.

This park is massive. The "small dog" park alone was larger than most dog parks I've seen. The park area for bigger dogs would provide a wonderful quick workout for both pet and owner should they run the loop even twice.
