I would highly recommend Tenney Park for the ice skating and their cozy warming house in the winter time. They also have skate rentals. In the summer time its a good location to go and see the fireworks.

If you are visiting Madison in the summer this park is pretty and the locks are something to see. If you are visiting in the winter it is a great place to ice skate and there are hockey boards up in part of it. Beautiful park new shelter!

We used to live not too far from Tenney Park and loved to be outdoors there especially when boats are out or the ponds are frozen.

Madison hosts several great parks and this is no exception. Great views. Walk out on the rocks and in summertime, catch boats transferring lakes in the locks. You might also catch people fishing by the locks. Look closely in the churning water and you will see some enormous fish.

Was a fun time just hanging out at the locks waiting for boats to be locked between the two lakes. We walked out on the "pier" and watched boats out on the lake. Like all the parks in Madison, WI; it is a family park with so much to offer.

A very picturesque spot on the lake for a wedding. The new shelter house was great for the reception as well.

My partner and upon this place during a trip to Madison Capitol Square and fell in love!! Beautiful grass area where families have picnics friends gather and play games kids run around being kids in the open air.. Our friends have decided to join us and we barbeque and hang out there now occasionally. I love it and I'm sure... More

I love this museum. I donate every time I go in or buy something from their geology museum shop case out in the hall. Full Edmontosaurus (duck bulled), Mammoth, and other skeletons, meteorites, and a LOT of other specimens.
