Dogs are welcome in the following City of Madison Parks - provided the dogs are ON-LEASH. Please be sure to use the posted signs in the parks as the most current dog area information.  Please remember that dogs are not allowed in any non-designated park, children's play areas, beaches, athletic fields, conservation parks, or in any park building. During the winter dogs are not permitted on groomed cross-country ski trails.

In parks allowing dogs, all dogs must be restrained on a maximum 6' leash at all times except in the designated off-leash exercise areas. City of Madison Ordinance 8.19.
