| Neighborhood Description: |
We are a neighborhood association located on the southwest side of Madison that is made up of the combined boundaries of the Maple Grove and Prairie Hills neighborhoods. Established in 1992, modern homes on quiet, residential streets make up most of the Maple-Prairie neighborhood. Neighborhood children attend Verona Schools. We are only minutes away from regional shopping and entertainment venues.
Maple-Prairie Park, a 12.5-acre city park, is located in the heart of the neighborhood. It is active with children on the playground, youth and adult soccer games, and seniors strolling through the grassy areas. Multifamily living is located along the southwestern edge of the park making it convenient for apartment dwellers.
