Dog exercise areas
Janesville is home to three dog exercise areas! Designated portions of Palmer Park and Rock River Parkway are open to unleashed pets, but they are not fenced in. You may run or train your pup off leash in these areas as long they are under your control at all times. Pets—leashed or not—are not permitted in Janesville parks and trails between May 15 and September 15, except in these designated portions. Paw Print Park is a fenced-in dog park within Prairie Knoll Park where you can run your fur-friend off leash year-round! A daily or annual permit is required at Paw Print Park.
