Learning Series Free Events
The Madison Parks Foundation supports the Learning Series to provide free, year-round programs and equipment that let everyone—regardless of income—learn new activities, connect, and enjoy our parks.
Goodman Pool Access Scholarships
Madison Parks Foundation helps keep the Goodman Pool accessible and welcoming for all—funding passes for families in need, supporting free swim lessons, and providing life jackets and other essential safety gear.
Accessible Parks & Playgrounds
From fully inclusive playgrounds and beach mats at city beaches to accessibility upgrades at The Glen Golf Park and Goodman Pool, MPF is removing barriers so everyone can connect, play, and belong.
Live at The Glen
Live at The Glen brings music, art, and community to one of Madison’s most scenic parks. What began as a summer concert series has grown into a year-round celebration of creativity and connection—with free, inclusive events that welcome everyone to experience the magic of The Glen.

Our city’s commitment to public parks and open spaces doesn’t stop at serving people — furry friends are included!
