| Neighborhood Description: | On July 10th, 1996, the Carpenter-Ridgeway Neighborhood Association was established, and in years since, it has become one of the most recognized, involved, and respected neighborhood associations in the City of Madison. Some of the many accomplishments include; new walking trails, a bikepath, rain garden and prairie, Starkweather Creek bank restoration and a new park. The neighborhood is home to a drumlin created by glaciers more than 17,000 years ago. In 1876 the neighborhood consisted of corn, barley, hay & tobacco fields. There were a significant number of oak trees along what is now Ridgeway Avenue. Some of these mighty oaks still stand today. Carpenter-Ridgeway Neighborhood is often described as “City Living with a Country Feel”. |
