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.

My go-to fireworks retail option every year. A little bit pricier than some locations but they…read morehave a great selection and there is always someone available to give you advice depending on what you are looking for. 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.

We did play at the playground for a few minutes. It was fine, but small and some parts were broken. There were spiders and wasps, but not many. There were a lot of young people there playing different sports and walking/running on the trail so if you are looking for that type of fun this will be a great place. It's a large space. We wouldn't go back. My kids kept asking to leave.
