About Dane County Dog Parks

Dane County was one of the first park systems in the United States to develop designated off-leash pet exercise areas and has been used as a model for other systems across the United States. We now have seven dog parks totaling almost 230 acres and host an annual Barks for Parks fundraiser to help improve and expand our services.
