About the Park
In McFarland, a village just southeast of Madison near Lake Waubesa, the McFarland Dog Park offers a free off-leash space for area dogs. Dogs can run and play off leash here, beyond the limits of a leashed walk. Fencing is not confirmed in our records, so watch your dog near the edges until you have walked the space yourself. There is no entry fee and no membership required. Hours are not posted here, so confirm access times with the village before your first visit, particularly in winter. Plan to bring your own water and waste bags, since specific amenities are not listed. For dog owners in the Madison metro's southeast corner, it is a convenient, cost-free place for daily exercise close to home.

McFarland Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
