Annual Dog Park Clean Up Day

Each spring, Madison Parks hosts Dog Park Clean Up Day! We supply trash bags, gloves, scoopers and buckets. You may bring your own gloves, scoopers and additional bags. Weather and park conditions determine which off-leash dog parks are included in this annual volunteer project. 

Date and Time: Saturday, April 4, 2026
