The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Madison

Capitol View Heights

One of Madison’s most popular dog friendly neighborhoods is Capitol View Heights. We have one HUGE guess why this is. On most days, you will find a lot of neighborhood locals hanging out at a local park. Quann Park is located in the Capitol View Heights neighborhood. This park boasts over 70 acres of fun for the whole family. In fact, about 37 of those acres are fenced off for the popular, off leash dog park, Quann Dog Park. There is also a small enclosed area at the dog park that lets dogs experience the beauty of Wingra Creek. This Madison neighborhood is also host of the annual Capital K9s Dog Paddle. This event helps fund the Madison Police Department K9 Unit. If one thing is for sure, Capitol View Heights residents love their pawsome furry family members!

Norman Acres

Do you and your pup enjoy living the “country life”, complete with front porch sitting? If so, you two will want to check out the Norman Acres neighborhood in Madison. This Madison neighborhood is also a host of the Pier Pups Canine Dock Jumping event. This event has taken place all over the country, including places like Chicago and Michigan. Norman Acres also offers dog friendly options when you want to grab a bite to eat. Places like the Doolittle’s Woodfire Grill near East Towne Mall is a super dog friendly dining option.
