Disc golf review. By no fault of its own, my only complaint is the distance this course is from home. Well worth the 90 minute drive if you plan to play a few rounds. The course is built on a hill and your first concrete tee shot it looking up into a nice backdrop of trees. From there, you'll play across the hill zigzagging your way up. After hole 5, you begin your trek into the woods where more technical shots begin and it isn't just a game of who can throw the farthest. With both short and long tee pads coupled with dual pin placements, this course offers multiple unique ways to play the course that might never get old. This course is great for beginners and skilled disc golfers. The course is pay to play which helps in the maintenance and up keep of the fairways and signage. Signage is in good shape and calls out distance for all tee pad and pin placements. They also include "Next Tee" on the signs, though I would forget to look until it was too late. There are also walking paths running through the course so if you do forget to check the sign for the next tee, there are a few holes that get confusing after completing (7 to 8 and 17 to 18 to be specific for first time players). The course was clean of garbage and well kept. Grass was cut and the fields were not yet overgrown. I imagine by mid summer the overgrown fields, on the more open holes, will add some complexity to the fairways. The course appeared to be popular as it was beginning to get busy around noon on a fair weather Sunday. Early morning seemed to be the best time to go. For three people, it took roughly 150 minutes to play two rounds using both pin placements from the short tee pads. Again, great disc golf course with a variety of looks and options. If you drive out of your way to play here, plan on playing a few rounds here and possibly other Madison parks.
Best "year-round" park in the City. Splash pad, accessible playground, hiking, and disc-golf in the summer. Sledding, ice-skating, XC-skiing, snow-shoeing in the winter. The north and north-west end of the park behind the softball and soccer fields are great for a quick hike or to catch a sunset.
We lived half a block from here and it truly was a nice resource to have at our immediate use. It was a delight in summer a and a snow fight in the winter! My daughter had so much frlun sledding for the first time, being from Florida. We shot the bb gun and bow and arrow there and I lived the mulberry tree at the top also. I k none the disc golf was very popular also.
This park was quite an enjoyable experience for my son, 5 y, and me. We essentially went on an adventure exploring the park, and decide to walk through a *portal* we found at the park 🤔😳😎 into a whole new world. There, we explored the world through the imagination of my son which was so much fun. We essentially found our way back through the portal onto Earth 😁🤩☺️. The park is quite clean. There's disc golf for a small cost. It's a great place for a walk or jog. We definitely will be coming back soon for another adventure 😎.
The safest toddler park in Madison. It has little fence and this park keeps toddlers and children safe all the time. The ground is so bouncy.
Great disc golf course and park in general! Clean fresh air.
Enjoyed a lot the Winter Festival, Madison. It was free. Ski materials are available on rent. Great place for sledding too.
Elver Park has a nice 18-hole disc golf course, which is 1 of the 3 city courses included in the yearly pass.The Park has a splash pad and playground for kids, large open fields, a pavilion and 2 different sets of restrooms.
Great place to just relax and fish! Clean atmosphere and great views. I couldn't find any bathrooms nearby. I am not from around this area so, not sure where they're found. Overall, it's an awesome spot to distress!
Really big park tucked backed in the Far East side of Madison. Has a variety of paths or trails through wooden areas and in small creek prairie area. Really nice newer playground equipment, 2 bball courts, and 2 full sized soccer fields! Some really
Awesome spot for pictures, rock hounding, neat driftwood specimens, picnicking, dipping your toes in the water, and slowing down to remember how beautiful the simple things in life are. It's one of my favorite places in a city full of gems. I swear,
I came to the skatepark to teach my nine-year-old twins to skate, everybody at this place was so welcoming and cool. They made my kids feel right at home, the skate park itself is badass! Zero complaints, everything is perfect! Can't say enough good
I am obviously biased as this park is in my backyard, but the new park shelter and playground are amazing. It is such a joy to have this in our neighborhood. We also helped get the Community Garden going this year, which was an incredible addition
Great little park. The perfect jumping of point for many adventures. Sits on lake shore path, right near Monona Terrace on the west, and machinery row bike shop on the east. Free parking after 6 and on the weekends.
A nice little park hiding only a couple blocks off Cottage Grove Road. A play area with swings, slide and climbing toys; also a large field for baseball, soccer, frisbee, etc. There's a medium sized pavillion with picnic tables, and a small (2- door
