Swiss Valley Dog Park

General Information
Acreage: 5.2
Acquired: 2003

History & Amenities
Located along the Rountree Branch, the land for the Swiss Valley Dog Park was donated to the City in 2003 by Swiss Valley Farms / Old Wisconsin Cheese.  The dog area was added in 2007, when the Platteville Community Arboretum raised funds to install a fence around a section of the park. Today there are separate spaces for large dogs, small dogs, and dogs in training. Other amenities include a covered shelter, picnic tables, waste disposal stations, and water hydrants. For those without canine companionship, the park also features an outdoor fitness center and convenient access to the David Canny Rountree Branch Trail.    

Dog owners will also not want to miss the Doggy Dip which takes place the last day of each season at the Platteville Family Aquatic Center. There is a charge for this event, but all proceeds go to support Swiss Valley Dog Park.

Upcoming Park Improvements: Pet owners, we need your help! Our Swiss Valley Dog Park is seeking funding for upcoming projects. Projects include: New Signage, New Water Spigot/Drainage, and a weed prevention system.
