I highly recommend checking out amazing Burrows Park in Madison, WI! :) It is my favorite park in…read moreMadison for many reasons! Burrows Park is a hidden small park from the street view but truly an amazingly serene little park that is one of many tiny hidden treasures of Madison. Burrows Park overlooks the Mendota shores, has a large stone park shelter, small playground, & restrooms. It is also home to more than one sacred Native American Effigy mounds including an extremely large bird shaped Effigy mound. Many people go there to relax, meditate, and it is a very peaceful place with an amazing view of the sunset. You can feel a certain beautiful positive charged energy coming from that whole area. People often rent out the stone shelter which has picnic tables for company picnics, baby showers, family reunions, etc. It is very affordable to rent out and can hold many people. I love this wonderful park so much, this is where we had our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony!

There are signs posted with names of the plants and information about the garden throughout the park. Tours and special events are held throughout the year.

Access to this park is if you park at the tennis courts or a neighboring street. Of course what makes this park so exceptional is its breathtaking view of the lake. One other positive amenity on the property is the air-conditioned beach house which has public restrooms and a water fountain. The other great thing about this small park is that it has a pier that you can walk out on and they do allow swimming at your own risk. The water by the pier is surprisingly shallow and only about 2 to 3 feet. This little patch of ground has got to be one of the best kept secrets in Madison and accessible by those who know how to get here. 10 informative photos posted here and on Google maps

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!
