About the Park
Out on Madison's far west side, Walnut Grove Dog Park shows up in the 53717 zip code as a free, off-leash area. That is the extent of the verified record: fencing, surface, hours, and street address are all blank in our data, which puts the burden of a first check on you. The 53717 area is mostly residential streets and subdivisions, so pin down the exact location before heading out. Once there, look for posted hours and rules, walk the fence line if one exists, and keep the leash clipped until the enclosure passes inspection. Bring water; nothing on site is confirmed.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Walnut Grove 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, Walnut Grove Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
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.

High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
