Token Creek Park is one of the larger recreational areas in Dane County. I frequently visit this park because it contains one of the nicer dog parks around Madison.
The dog park is located WAY in the back behind all of the recreational areas. There is plenty of parking and a dog registration board in case registering your dog for the park skipped your mind.
The park is SINGLE gated so please be careful that none of the furry friends get out. The park is large enough that releasing other people's dogs tends not to be an issue.
Immediately within the entrance of the park there is a smaller fenced in small dog area for puppies, small dogs, and older dogs. It even has a fun little agility course and picnic table!
The main park is quite large (it takes around 30 minutes to walk completely around) with some topography. The short rolling hills are a nice change from the flatter parks around Madison.
The park has tall grass and plenty of trees of the dogs to run around, which is also nice from the sheets of ice and short grass in the city parks depending on the season you go during.
My only gripe about this park is there are a couple owners who show up with dogs with some aggressive behavior. While is not a complaint on the park, beware that not all of the dogs you will encounter here are friendly.
Do not let the chance of aggressive dogs stop you though! 90% of my experiences here have been positive!
