About the Park
Monona Dog Park gives dogs an off-leash area in this small city bordered by Lake Monona just southeast of Madison, and it is free to use as a public park. The city posts rules and details for dogs in its parks online, which is worth reviewing before you go. The off-leash space lets dogs run without a leash away from Monona's leashed paths. Fencing, surface, and hours are not confirmed in our records, so check the enclosure on arrival. Monona sits in Dane County in south-central Wisconsin, where summers are warm and winters bring regular snow. Bring your own water and waste bags, since additional amenities are not documented in this listing.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Monona 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.
Best of all, Monona Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
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.
