55Easy to find and park. Lovely large south-facing sunny yard. My boy had a great time sniffing all the new smells and getting his zoomies out. A thoughtful box of toys, fresh water and treats provided, including a convenient spot to deposit the waste. Obviously there must be a dog living in the fenced yard behind the lot, as my guy kept sniffing the fence line, but we never saw any other dog. Lovely spot, we'll be back!Susan M.

55We both had a great time (I very much enjoyed the hammock). A neighbor's dog did come out for a while, causing mine to go nuts, but thankfully that passed after 10 minutes or so. We will definitely be back! Molly P.

55What a lovely spot!! The yard was clean, with plenty of room for a good doggie romp! 😁 Toys, water, treats, and poo bags were available, and it was so peaceful. The little shelter dog I’d brought just loved it!! The wooden fence is solid, with gaps in between the slats, so it is possible to see another dog, and it’s 4’ tall. My own dog would’ve been just fine, as was this shelter sweetie; but I didn’t want to bring one of our bigger dogs, on the off-chance he/she might try to jump the fence (probably would never happen, but I’m extra-cautious with shelter dogs, whom I don’t know very well). Overall, I highly recommend it!! It’s such a nice yard, and Emily, the hostess, seems so very kind!Carolyn G.

55Great space to let the dogs run around! There was water, a place to put the used dog bags, and a bin of toys and treats. Thanks for hosting us!Kelsey R.

55A great spot for my pup to run and play! The yard is fully fenced, with views of the surrounding yards. This was perfect to help expose my puppy to other sights and sounds while still having an enclosed space to keep her safe. We had a great time and will certainly be back!Jordann M.

55The Sniff Spot was a life saver for my dog & boyfriend - they both got in some "off leash" time, and the dog could decompress from a car commute up from Monroe! Very thankful!! Margie F.

FAQ About Monona Dog Parks
