Quann Park

About this park
A fully fenced prairie park minutes from downtown and the Alliant Energy Center, big enough for full-tilt sprints without feeling congested. Two entrances across from one another bookend an open grass expanse that regulars walk as a morning loop.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 280 Google reviewsReviewers repeatedly call out how rare it is to find a fully fenced park this close to downtown with enough room for a large dog to run flat out. The open prairie layout and friendly regulars keep the 4.5-star crowd coming back daily.
A tight morning walking crowd, regulars who know each other well enough that one joked about accidentally joining a "dog walking gang." Owners are welcoming to newcomers and the dogs tend to be well-socialized.

Before you go
There's no water on site and minimal shade, so bring your own water and skip midday visits in summer. Park at the Goodwin Maintenance facility lot; the twin entrances are across from each other on the prairie side.
