This summer, that magic became accessible to even more families in Madison with the opening of a brand new water sprayground at the Jeff Erlanger Playground at Rennebohm Park.

The holiday season is a time for giving, but your gift can do more than just bring joy for a moment. It can create opportunities that last all year long. Imagine a child enjoying the pool all summer, a group of kids enjoying healthy snacks while participating in educational programs, or neighbors gathering to enjoy live music in a local park.

This isn't just any calendar—it's a celebration of Madison's stunning park spaces captured through the lenses of local photographers. Each month showcases award-winning images from the annual Madison Parks photography contest, bringing the beauty of our beloved green spaces right into your home or office.

Inspired by the Frautschi’s gift, and by Jeff Erlanger’s legacy, the Oscar Rennebohm Foundation has also now stepped up with $100,000 to help build an accessible playground at Oscar Rennebohm Park on Madison’s West Side in 2022. That accessible playground will be named after Jeff Erlanger.

Madison’s dog parks continue to be some of our most loved and well-used spaces. This year, the Foundation has been working closely with community partners and city staff to improve amenities and make sure these parks remain welcoming for both pets and their humans.

the Madison Parks Foundation has been awarded a $94,000 grant from 100 Men of Dane County to support the “Kids Need Opportunities at Warner (K.N.O.W.)” program at Warner Park Community Recreation Center.
