About Quann Park
Quann Park is an old landfill site best known as Madison’s Premiere off-leash dog park. But Quann Park is more than just the off-leash dog park. We share this roughly 70-acre park with tennis courts, a community garden, a bike/pedestrian path and city facilities. The off-leash dog park is the largest part of the acreage, but is also the part of the park taken over by the Alliant Energy Center for alternate uses.
Here is how the current 71.4 acres in Quann Park is allocated:

The off-leash dog area is divided into three sections. The main field is completely enclosed with a 4 foot chain link fence around the perimeter. The main field is divided into the large eastern field and a 7 acre western section separated by a free standing fence with 5 gates. A smaller (~4acre) semi-enclosed section gives access to Wingra Creek and contains a blacktopped path for handicapped accessibility. The west section and creek corridor are reserved for off-leash dog park when the east field is being used by Alliant Energy Center (AEC) for parking or events. AEC event closures are listed on the Park Calendar page.
