My dog is 1 years old he is a teddy bear but he thinks he is a Great Dane! He loved being able to be mixed in with all of the dogs. They all had a great time super friendly, super nice owners 10 out of 10 I am definitely taking my fur baby back again and again! Only thing I'd say could use improvement is people picking up after their fur babies but all in all there wasn't a lot of waste left around either... read more

Great park but super dusty and the watering area has water all over the concrete near the bowl so the dogs that like to fetch and get full of dirt then go where the water is and get kind of muddy. A nice big park but dogs get super dirty. Feels pretty safe here too. read more

Madison Square Dog Park - Nice park, feels safe, dogs get dirty tho - Dog Parks Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The dog park itself was nice. I'm new to the area so I went off the reviews and decided to try it out. I went earlier today around 3 pm. It was just me and my dog in the park at the time and I was reading my book, enjoying the day and a bum walked in alone (no dog). There were like 12 free benches and a free picnic table. It was just me on a bench alone (I'm a young female) and he walked right up to me, pulled down his pants and sat right next to me on the only taken bench. Needless to say, I got the hell out of there. Just a warning to be careful. As I was leaving I saw a few homeless peoples sleeping on the nearby benches and idk, I just didn't get a safe feeling. I will not be visiting this park again. read more

Lots of friendly pups Walking distance from Riverwalk Doggie bags and H2O provided Plenty of seating areas (benches in shade and picnic tables) Some grassy area but mostly wood chips that could be a little ruff on the paws read more

Loved the double gate security on the entrances so it allows you to come in and if dogs from the inside come they don't get out. There's also a water pump that fills a water bowl and where it sprays to wash your hands/ wash something. Plenty of running space and provides poop bags. read more

Madison Square Dog Park - Yard - Dog Parks Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This park is one square block just east of the downtown Baptist Hospital. It has paved walkways cut diagonally through it, so you can get to the four corners. The few times I've been here, it's been relatively dog-free. I have to say though, it is a pleasant little spot. read more

I recently moved back to the downtown/Southtown area and have since acquired the love of my life, Wasabi, my happa Havanese mutt pup. (see picture & try not to fall in love) Anywayyyy this fool is FULL of energy, as he should be being about 1 yo. I used to live closer to the RIM and would take him to Phil Hardberger or Mystic Park. Both those places have small and large sides. Wasabi is a medium pup who needs large dog companionship #iheardthat Madison Square Dog Park is clean, small enough for little dogs, and big enough for the big dogs. It has multiple double door entrances (3), benches, picnic tables, shade, and trashcans. It even has strategically placed fire hydrants. Super cute. Everyone is super friendly and OMG PEOPLE ACTUALLY PICK UP THEIR DOG SHHHT! Thank God because Phil Hardberger is a land mine. I loved it there because of the trees from the shade, but my shoes hated it there. I actually now wish I leased with Cadillac Lofts just so I could be closer to Madison Square dog park. THE ONLY RESERVATION I have is (and who could regulate this anyway?) is that there are some bums in the area.... because it's downtown. I won't go on a diatribe about mentally ill bums, but you never know what could happen. #paranoidAF I don't stay late by any means at the dog park, but just forewarning you if you're weird about i! read more

Madison Square Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I came to Madison Square Dog Park not realizing it was a dog park. I just wanted a place to enjoy my morning coffee and walk a bit, and perhaps sit under a tree. What I thought from a distance was a children's play area turned out to be a gated DOG play area! There were lots of people with dogs in there. This was my first time at a dog park. Here I witnessed dogs who were treated lovingly as the fur babies that they are. It's nice to know that the City of San Antonio honors dogs in this way. read more

This park is great! You DO have to pay for parking but there's so many areas to park and it's only .30 cents for 1 hour which is incredibly cheap! The meter does accept card and coins! No bills. There aren't any dog obstacles but a big area to run and tons of trees and benches!! A combination of mulch, dirt, and grass and a good sidewalk area too! This park is great! Will definitely be coming back here! read more

My dog Mocha is my very best friend. She is the love of my life, a beautiful chocolate brown lady that I try to spoil at every opportunity. Then on top of all of that adorableness, my roommate has a little terrier as well and the two together tag-team dog parks and games of catch all over the Alamo City with their rambunctious, mind bogglingly cute ways. So, the roommate and I are always looking for ways to rid these babies of their energy and this dog park had been calling our names for a while. It's minutes from our house, which is a plus. It's totally fenced and actually a fairly good sized park space considering its urban surroundings. Like any dog park should, it has bags and water available for you pooches and a double-entry gate to make sure you don't lose your dogs on the way in and out. read more

A single dog park in a nice area. The ground is mostly wood chips. There's no separate small dog area, but the dogs were pretty well behaved and the people were friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

I really enjoyed this park! Plenty of shade, benches/tables, and room for the dogs to run! Unfortunately, the water was at working and I had to pay for street parking, otherwise my review would be 5 read more

Serenely quiet and low key, this park is a wonderful spot to bring your pets to run off some energy, or in the case of our corgi, socialize and relax. The park is clean with water fountains and disposal bags/bins readily available. We greatly appreciated having a spot to bring our boy to get him out of our hotel room during our trip to San Antonio. read more

Great area. Lots of very cheap parking, friendly dogs and dog owners, water fountain for dogs and a wading pool. Park benches are in the sun but there are picnic tables in the shade. read more

I still do not understand why the city would allow for kids to go into the dog parks, it's so unfortunate that the kids come in with poor supervision and run rampant in here , not every dog that is rescued is kid friendly. This is a DOG PARK not a petting zoo or a kid playground. Is there a petition that can get started where kids are not allowed in the parks at all, like any of them throughout San Antonio? Such a liability on everyone's part when you start bribing kiddos into the mix, there are way too many dog personalities to already be ready and on the look out for let alone now watching other people's kids. Other than that this park is great, just a caution for new dog owners or people new to the area this park has been having a lot more kids in here running around. read more

This dog park is A-OK but probably my least favorite of SA dog parks. There are no obstacles for the dogs and it's basically a T-shaped walkway with not much to see. I will say that the people were very friendly and chatty and the location is great. This is a nice place to stretch your legs and walk your fur baby around when he/she needs some relief. Restroom-wise and socially! My favorite thing about this dog park is that the trash cans are not stinky or overflowing with poop bags, and there is a lovely view of the less hustle-and-bustle part of downtown. read more

This is a great (the only?) downtown dog park - here's why: 1) Location: Madison Square Dog Park is easily accessible off the highways that run through the west side of downtown by the Pearl. There is plenty of metered parking around the park (never full). Free side street parking can also be found. The park has town north-side entrances and one on the south, for convenience in parking and entering. 2) Space: The park is definitely big enough for dogs to get a good run or catch in, but small enough to allow owners to keep a close eye on the dogs. There is a shaded bench area and a sunny one allowing patrons to spread out and enjoy whatever amount of sun they desire. However, the benches are annoyingly close to the only trash cans, so if you want to sit, it is near smelly garbage. 3) Amenities: There is one water fountain, and it is surrounded by dirt, so mud typically ensues after dogs rush to their only water source. The water is too close to one of three entrances, so there is usually a dog or too that slobbers over people trying to enter/leave. read more

My husband and I love coming here. The park is well maintained and in a great location. The people have always been kind and helpful with small tips and are very watchful of their dogs. It's a great place to meet new friends. read more

We were just passing through, but this was a great spot to let my pup out to release some energy! As with many dog parks, just bring some towels because my pup ended up getting pretty muddy (it was drizzling when we went, and there are some dirt patches), but I am finding that to be the general rule for most of the dog parks around here despite the weather. read more

I cannot adequately describe how much I love this park. I live in an apartment north of downtown and have a very energetic (borderline insane at times) shepherd/husky mix. I started coming here a few weeks ago and it has helped her so much. It gets most if that crazy energy out and allows me a quiet(er) evening when we get home. The people have been amazing, especially since the first time I brought her she hid under a bench the whole time, always pretty understanding and helpful. You can tell they love their dogs. The dogs are the best, it's so fun to see all the different breeds and personalities running around. It's pretty large, has double gates in 3 places, baggies and trash cans and a water fountain with a low bowl attached. Really, this place has been keeping me sane lately, as my dog seems to have stopped crawling on the ceiling and trying to chew electrical wires in a bid to escape the apt. read more

Good size park for being right downtown. No separation of small and large dogs. Not in a good neighborhood but otherwise , has everything dogs and people need (water, shade, benches to sit, enough space to run and play ball). Would be nice if there were more grass. read more

Madison Square Park is absolutely my favorite doggie park....EVER!!! MY FURBABIES and I have been going for about 1year, and have made some great acquaintances there. My furbabies are always so happy there and have also made some furry friends. The park has wonderful natural shade, great grass, a wonderful breeze, and is both big enough to allow the babies to run, and close enough to be in site. The doggie owners are extremely responsible and kind. I would love to see more doggie parks like this around San Antonio read more

Nestled somewhere within the hustle and bustle of downtown, you'll find this quiet oasis suited perfectly for our furry little friends. Madison square park is situated near a part of town that wouldn't immediately strike you as up and coming, but the intelligently placed street names remind me of my hometown of NYC. My wife and I really enjoyed it, and so did our Border collie. I highly recommend this park. read more

Honestly I just moved to San Antonio and just recently adopted my first dog ever her name is Phoenix and she is full of energy yes you have to pay for street parking which I totally get for being in a big city but the down side is when I got here there was no other dogs for her to play with. But if someone can please tell me what time and day is mostly full of dogs I would be glad to come back! read more
