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.

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.

This is the story of how a determined group of citizens, led by two remarkable men, created the foundation of Madison's beloved park system in just 46 years—all through private donations, volunteer effort, and an unwavering belief that beautiful public spaces belonged to everyone.
