I am a tad confused why a public park in a small town would need or want reviews, but I'll hop on…read morethat wagon. Fair disclosure: We live within walking distance of this park, so our review is probably biased. The place is just plain cool. Large structures with almost any type of climbing, sliding, or running doodad you can think of. The build is solid, and it is incredibly well maintained. The surrounding ball fields are just as nice. Fenced in to keep the local canines from stealing your balls, and ample parking for large events like Rugby or Soccer tournaments. This is also where the town has their annual Fireman's Festival put on by the local fire department. The festival has been struggling the last years but they just recently took the time to revise the company providing the rides, and brought back the Fireworks so it is a ton better (a trend we hope they continue). The only thing lacking is access to public bathrooms. Unless there is an event going on, they are locked. I am sure it's for safety reasons, but it sucks if you have a need to lose some weight pretty quickly.... If you are in from out of town visiting family and have younger kids, this place is definitely worth taking a short jaunt to. If you don't live in or aren't visiting CG, I wouldn't say it's worth a dedicated drive unless you are attending an event.

Great food and family fun! It would be a tragedy if this were the last festival. It is really…read moreour city's crown jewel.

I grew up in Monona, and have been coming to this festival for 10+ years! Truly a Wisconsin staple…read morefor the 4th of July! Nestled in between two local parks, there's amazing entertainment, events (don't miss the wife carry!!) rides and games for your little ones, and delicious food/drink! This year was exactly what I would come to expect from the monona community after the 2020 absence, amazing! The fireworks though, always incredible but this year was bar none! They spare no expense and make it an unforgettable experience and by far the best place to watch fireworks in the southern part of Wisconsin. I was lucky enough to be a vendor for the Art fair for the first time this year, as I've been dreaming of doing so since I was little. Such an amazing experience! The event coordinator was wonderful and very thorough with planning and checking in on all of us vendors to make sure we were ready to go and happy. Thanks Laurie! And thanks to volunteers and everyone who made this year spectacular! Only thing I wish was more abundant was hand washing stations, though I'm sure they're hard to get ahold of nowadays.

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!

I went recently to try out the ice skating and had a blast. It cost 6$ to rent ice skates and you…read morecould skate for as long as you want until the rental place closed. 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.

In fact, every year we've got we've had a staff member literally walk around with us helping to calculate our spend and ensure that we have a good mix of options. Granted, we spend between $500-$750 each year but I see the same great service for folks buying much less. Need a great finale? They carry the Tailgate Party ground shower that always gives us the big finish we are looking for. Ample parking and a clean, safe store. Definitely recommend.

If you are a pyro like me you will think you died and went to heaven! I lit a mortar the night I bought them and it was literally like one from a firework show. The only disappointment was that they don't have 1/4 sticks of dynamite, the real old time M80's that would blow your hand off. With that exception, the selection is par excellence! That photo was my order. I can't wait to light some off in the parking lot at Supercross, Anaheim 1 baby! It's right over the border in Wisconsin.
