North Star Dog Park

North Star Dog Park is a nice large grassy open space to get those zoomies and sniff curiosities out. It's about 0.3 miles around, with a little worn walking path around the fence line. There's not a lot to explore compared to other parks, but it does the trick if you just need a place to let your dog run, sniff, or play. There's only one picnic table, and it's mounted abnormally high, so it's not very accessible to everyone. I'm tall with long legs and I have difficulty comfortably sitting at it. However, they just recently provided 2 plastic outdoor chairs, so hopefully they stay there and get replaced if they ever break. There's no water source, so bring your own. Like all dog parks, poop bags are provided. The park is right next to North Star Park and is accessible with fence doors in 3 places. Owners that I've encountered here are very respectful and I've never seen a dog fight at this park. Overall I would recommend this park!

The girls loved it!

Smaller than other dog parks in the area, but still a decent size. There really isn't much in the way of amenities like a picnic table or a porta poddy. Poop bags were available and a garbage can to put them in. The biggest issue is the amount of poop all around the park. Some very irresponsible dog owners clearly frequent this park. Playground There is none. Restrooms There are none. Dog-friendliness Of course, it's an off leash dog park. Picnic area There are no picnic tables or benches and due to all of the dog poop on the ground I would not recommend sitting on the ground.

great area there are trees benches and adequate space for play

Nice park, the people are not the nicest but they clean up behind themselves

Okay dog park, wish there were benches or chairs to sit on while the dogs played. Also a drinking fountain to get the dogs water would be great! This is very much a no frills park.

Love our local dog park.

I was impressed at how many of our fur friends were out today. The park was a quaint jog. Not huge, just enough for a few laps and a leg stretch though. The unimpressive part were all the poop bombs. This littler park alone had more bombs than any large park! Shame on you irresponsible dog owners. This alone will keep us from returning. This is a city of Madison park. There is a fee to use the park. I'm not saying the city of Madison should be responsible for irresponsible dog owners. However, this is a paid for exercise Park that should be maintained. Playground There is no playground in this space. However there is one in the general vicinity. Restrooms There are no restrooms or porta potties. Dog-friendliness Off leash dog exercise area. Picnic area There is no picnic area.

Small off leash park near to some of our favorite stops. It's always a great time for our family.

Smaller rectangle fenstin dog park has dog bags as garbage can no bathroom. Next to water tower and a nice park. Restrooms None Dog-friendliness Open park no trees
