What's Happening in the Parks

They're neighborhood kids, northside families, and a community investment in Madison's future.

Your gift supports kids at Warner Park and fuel the many other progams, parks and initiatives that make Madison stronger.

here's something that might surprise you: If you own an average Madison home valued at $410,000, only $275 of your annual property taxes goes to parks. That's less than one dollar per park, per household.

Join us for the 8th annual Picnic in the Park fundraiser! Celebrating Warner Park's recent expansion, this event will transport you back to the radical age of big hair, gym proms, and footloose moves.

This wasn't just another ribbon-cutting ceremony. It was a milestone in our ongoing commitment to ensure that all 295+ parks in Madison's system are welcoming and accessible to everyone in our community. 

Our Goodman Pool Access Scholarships program reaches far beyond simply opening the gate. Since 2006, we've provided scholarships for swimming lessons, helping kids develop crucial water safety skills while building confidence and making memories. But our commitment doesn't stop there.
