About the Park
Madison's growing east edge, zip 53718, is where North Star Park's dog area is recorded: off-leash and free, per our data, with no confirmed fencing, surface, hours, or address to go with it. New development has pushed the city outward on this side, and neighborhood parks have followed the rooftops, so a dog run here fits the pattern even though our listing cannot vouch for the details. Scout before you commit: locate the park, read whatever signs are posted, and judge the enclosure with your own eyes before unclipping. Pack the standard kit of water, bags, and a long line for dogs whose recall is still a work in progress.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
North Star Park 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, North Star Park 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.
