Madison Dog Park
Donation protected
Madison is on the verge of its own Dog Park! It has been a 5-year effort and unanimous approval was received by the Town Council on January 14, 2019. The Madison Dog Park Committee is seeking to raise $5,000 to meet the Open Space requirements and are asking for our communities help.
The estimated cost of the installation is $18,500 excluding any benches or additional items.
Behind the skating rink/field at Memorial Park is an underutilized Picnic Area that has been identified as the ideal location - the site is already cleared; there are mature shade trees; it is relatively level ground; there are walking trails with existing dog activity; there is a water line already there and Memorial Park has a great parking lot for easy access.
This area is in a designated buffer zone to the adjacent wetlands. The appropriate measures have been taken to be in compliance with the regulations and a Dog Park is an ideal use for the area since it's installation involves minimal disruption to the area.
Our dogs need exercise and we can all use some more fun with them - and with our fellow dog owners.
Help our Seniors get their dogs a place where they can let them run and play, off-leash and safely.
The Madison Dog Park would be the only place in Madison that would enable dog owners to let their beloved family members to run freely without concern of Madison's busy streets. There are no other enclosed areas in our town that are designated for our dogs to use.
Meet your neighbors! Dogs are among our most common elements in Madison - think how many of your friends have a dog - or more than one! Dog Parks create a social atmosphere that creates new relationships that may never happen.
We are meeting with the Open Space Committee tonight (May 8) and have requested the proceeds from GoFundMe to meet our Open Space requirement.
