The apartments used to be an attractive option for graduate students due to proximity to campus and…read morelow rents. Unfortunately, rents at Eagle Heights have been increasing much faster than elsewhere in Madison, so now the cost is almost the same, and thats not even considering somewhat Spartan amenities in Eagle Heights (no AC, old refrigerators, tiny apartments). The bedrooms are good for one queen bed and that's about it. There is a space for AC, but good luck trying to cool 2-bedroom apartments with one window AC unit. The endless fire alarm tests (and false fire alarms) don't help either. It's not clear what niche these apartments occupy now as they are sub-par quality for regular price (after all the rent increases).

This is the commons area, party room, entertainment center for graduate student housing in the…read moreEagle Heights complex. It's available for private events, I was here for Sri Lankan New Years and it was a suitable venue. The kitchen is serviceable for a pretty large party, there's a good indoor outdoor combination, with a little playground area for children to safely play when they get bored with the grown up stuff going on inside. The main weakness is that there isn't adequate parking for a lot of guests coming from outside of the complex, I guess since this is Madison the expectation is that everyone can walk or bicycle in.

This is a hiddem gem in the Madison area. It's a bit off the beaten path in Verona but worth the…read moretrip. Zero depth entry, salt water, solar heated pool. It doesn't get any better than this. I wear contacts and usually I take them out because my eyes become irritated from the chlorine. Not here though! I can keep my eyes open (without googles) and there are no issues. They take a break for 15 minutes on the hour for 18 and over swim. Otherwise, kids reign free in the pool for 45 minutes. There's a shallow end with some kid features and a deep end. Kids will need to pass a test from the lifeguards in order to swim on their own in the deep end (it's marked off). When you're taking a break, enjoy a freezie pop for 25 cents or a choco taco from the concessions area. If you're looking to cool off on a hot summer day, look no further!

Summer fun. Jennifer Gray move over! This pool was like an…read moreOasis on a hot day. All the other local pools were closing for the summer and they were still open through labor day. Still close to Madison and surrounding areas, it is open to the public and a short drive. Decent changing rooms, large parking lot and then we get to the actual pool. Nice layout of the adult pool connecting with the kids pool. Tons of lounging chairs, picnic tables at actual pool area. Large deep end area and lap pool permanently roped off. Pool was extremely clean, tidy and staff was great. This felt a little old fashioned, in a fun way. Surrounded my big mature trees, rolling hills of Verona, it was a breath of fresh air! The picnic and playground area just north of the pool has a huge wooden playground set in the shape of an ark. There's Zebras, Lions and giraffes in pairs to accompany the ark. Who doesn't love a zebra to climb on? Huge field to play in and more picnic tables. FUN! We will be there next summer, two by two!

I pretty much grew up here. I'd go in every few days and grab the pile of 15 books I'd put on hold…read more The librarians were really friendly. When I came back fifteen years later, I wondered if they were just being friendly because I was just a little kid. Nope. People are stil friendly. But, this branch sure seems a lot smaller, now.

I'm a huge fan of the public library system, and while Meadowridge isn't one of the newest or…read morelargest branches, it has most of the resources I'm looking for. The staff are friendly and helpful, I can get books from all over the system delivered directly to the branch (with an email notification to pick them up when they arrive,) and they partner with the neighborhood center next door for a lot of interesting educational community programs for all ages and interests. This branch is also where I now go to vote for every election, and the recent expansion to allow absentee voting and early voting at library branches is super-useful for my sometimes-crazy schedule! My biggest complaints about the branch are that they're closed on Sundays (as are many of the Madison branches,) and this branch seems to be quite a bit noisier than others I'm used to. (Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety!)

Staff is super friendly and just like their website states, they will walk you through how to throw, safety concerns, and different types of games (some user created, some hybrid-- so many options)!
