Anderson Farm County Dog Park
Prairie restoration with gravel trails and almost no mud
About this park
A Dane County dog park south of Oregon, Wisconsin, with crushed-gravel perimeter trails winding through a working prairie restoration. Large and small dog areas are fenced separately, and a mowed center field gives dogs room to free-play without the crowding of smaller urban parks.
Amenities
Anderson Farm County Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers love that the crushed-gravel paths keep paws and boots mud-free even in spring, and the wide-open design keeps the place from feeling crowded. The spring and summer prairie blooms (black-eyed Susan, bee balm, Culver's root) turn it into a scenic walk as much as a dog park.
Reviews describe a consistently well-behaved crowd that cleans up after their dogs and keeps the park noticeably tidy. A handful of visitors rate it a close second to Prairie Moraine.
Best for
Before you go
Requires a Dane County dog park permit; leash your dog in the parking area until you're through the gate. Bring water: there's no fountain on site, and shade is limited because the park is full-prairie with no woods.
