ABOUT
HOYT:
Quiet,
and slightly removed from the congested thoroughfare of Madison
traffic, Hoyt Park is an ideal location for either a substantial,
social gathering or a peaceful stroll through forest and prairie
habitat. Truly, there
is something for everyone to value. The naturalist will enjoy the
lush mix of young, and old growth vegetation that is laced by a
network of paved and unpaved hiking trails.
The sports enthusiast will find a full-sized basketball
court, a softball field, and a grassy, clearing suitable for soccer,
football, or Frisbee. In
addition, the two highly, hospitable shelters will appease the
socialites and the play equipment will occupy the children.
While at the same time, the past comes alive thanks in large
part to not only the many restored historic fireplaces (twelve
precisely) scattered like ancient treasure throughout, but also the
restored prairie, rock and tree formations which envelop the park.
These are, perhaps, a few reasons why Madison natives make a
point of returning to Hoyt Park, again and again.
