I really like this park. Small but mighty in my opinion. The bowl is chode shaped, and the oververt…read moreclamshell-like round bowl is great fun, while the other round ball-shaped pocket needs some love as the coping is whack. Lots of straight coping (20' ?) though that feels mini-ramp like with the end/tip bowl'd in. The street course is fun but I can see that becoming hectic if more than 4 people are there skating it at the same time. I like the bank wall thing, basically cuz I don't do stairs, but the bank feels like a big curb at one end. I haven't figured out the flow of the street section as it is uphill in one direction to the big quarter, so carrying enough speed almost negates the features in that direction but on the return run you can grind the bank right up and over. I try and make the trip every now and again from Whitewater because it has been empty every time I go.

Street course is a double banked straight away with ledges and rails. There's a mini bowl -- 4' maybe -- with decent transitions and corners, and a mellow oververt pocket. The coping is a little inconsistent, so you might pop in or your might roll out. The concrete is a little rough in patches -- probably due to the weather. If I were a local, I'd tell the village it's time to start saving for a professional resurface in the next 5 years.

Central Park, I love you so!…read more I love this place. It is such a great use of land. I was so happy when they started developing it. It's long and narrow shape allows for so many things! I enjoy Fete de Marquette the most of all the festivals/events that take place here. Food, music, a Ferris Wheel! Lots of vendors to browse and even cool activities for the kiddos. 10/10 recommend! I attended the Isthmus Food Cart Fest here, too. Wow that was a BUMMER. I won't get into how much it sucked..... But, it was still a nice set-up at this park. The park also has a skate-park at one end. It's brand new (within the last 2-3 years) and seems to be pretty popular. About midway, there is a really nice brand new restroom facility as well. There is a farmers market weekly in the warm months, too!

I was in the area picking something up and decided to take a short walk through this park. My…read morenephews and I used to come here in Spring when everything was still covered in snow, and in winter, the park is popular for cross-country skiing, so I'm quite familiar with it. I've also attended a foraging class here through the Madison Public Library, which was a great experience. The trails are easy to walk, but keep an eye out for black walnuts that ripen and drop onto the ground--you could easily step on one and twist an ankle (as I unfortunately did). Along the way, you might spot squirrels and hear birds singing in the bushes. I even came across some mushrooms, which reminded me of the foraging class. There's a restroom facility and a pond nearby, and in winter, local families love coming here for sledding on hill. I've done it myself--it's a lot of fun, just make sure to protect your back on the way down! Don't say I didn't warn you!

If you have your own skates you can skate for as long as you want. They have 2 rinks, one for regular ice skating and the other for hockey. They have the green assistance rollators, for when you need assistance ice skating, that are useful. The ice was chipped in some areas, but overall good quality. There is a huge hill close by that looks like it can be sledded when there's more snow.

The milk crates are awesome because you can stack them to the right height, so kids can skate upright instead of being leaned over with a short pusher. They play music during open skate.

There is no additional fees for using the trails unlike some other state parks. It was a weekday so it was pretty empty - good for us. There was a fresh inch of snow on top of a good base. We skied the un-groomed Woodlands trail which was very nice and then the groomed Morningside trail which was better. The grooming really helped. If it were windy that trail would be a bit exposed. We will definitely return to ski.

We were staying at the Holiday Inn in Middleton, and I decided to check out this park. I went there around 7am, and maybe it gets crowded later in the day, but there were just a few fishermen putting their boats in at the marina. The maintenance people have done a great job cutting trails through the fields. There is a paved trail also (for bicycles and hikers), but I didn't take it. I sure wish I lived closer to this little park! Living in Cincinnati, it is just a little too far for me to drive.
